Tips for imaging pediatric patients

This week AuntMinnie.com is featuring a series of articles on pediatric imaging by Douglas Clark, R.T. (R) (CT). Mr. Clark shares with AuntMinnie readers the tips and tricks you won't find in the classroom or a textbook.

Dear AuntMinnie Member,

One of the toughest aspects of any radiologic technologist's job is imaging pediatric patients. Classroom education can't substitute for the wisdom that comes from years of experience in handling radiology's littlest patients.

Fortunately, AuntMinnie.com gives you access to some of that experience this week through a series of articles we're featuring on pediatric imaging by Douglas Clark, R.T. (R) (CT). Mr. Clark shares with AuntMinnie readers the tips and tricks you won't find in the classroom or a textbook.

You'll find nuggets ranging from the special needs of infants to knowing the right language to use when addressing patients.  Brushing up on your knowledge of children's TV shows can also give you a good ice breaker when trying to make kids feel more comfortable in the imaging suite.

Check out the article in our X-Ray Digital Community, at xray.auntminnie.com/, and stay tuned for more updates in coming weeks.
