Children X-Ray
X-rays are used to image almost any part of the body. They are the most common and most widely available examinations we offer.
All our practices are equipped with up to date computerised and digital imaging equipment to ensure maximum image quality and minimum radiation dose. This technology speeds up examination time, reduces the radiation dose required for the examination and significantly reduces the need for repeat examinations.
The effect is cumulative, so all radiation counts. Because we care about your child’s bodily health and well-being, we believe that reducing the amount of radiation exposure is extremely important. We take additional precautions, including lead aprons and thyroid collars that shield and protect the body.
Ultrasound
Children’s (pediatric) ultrasound imaging of the abdomen uses sound waves to produce images of the inside of the body. It does not use radiation and has no known harmful effects. It is very useful for evaluating the causes of abdominal, pelvic or scrotal pain in children.
Preparation will depend on the type of exam. When scheduling your child’s ultrasound, ask if there are specific instructions for eating and drinking prior to the exam. Your child should wear loose, comfortable clothing and may be asked to wear a gown.
