How can I help as a Parent?

-Your child may be upset or feel your anxiety. Speak calmly and firmly to reassure your child.
-Praise him or her for being cooperative and helping the radiologic technologist.
-Listen closely to the instructions the technologist gives your child. Ask how you can be of assistance.
-If you remain in the examination room with your child during a procedure, be sure to ask for special shielding to protect you from the radiation beam.
