Radiology for children
Visiting the Radiology department can be a scary time for a child. It is filled with lots of big machines but we aim to make the process as friendly as possible and make sure your child is put at ease throughout their examination.
We have a paediatric lead radiographer to ensure a quality paediatric service and we work closely with the play specialists and dedicated paediatric team.
We also have a “Kitten Scanner” which is a child-size version of a CT/MRI scanner that allows children to have a go at scanning a special puppet, thus preparing them in a fun way to undergo an examination themselves.
Below is a list of websites and apps to help prepare your child for their appointment in the Radiology department.
