Sometimes we can’t protect our children from the scrapes and falls that happen while they are exploring and testing their limits – and ours. But when it comes to getting x-rays or other treatment, children are not just small adults. Children need to be treated differently. Injuries and diseases affect a child’s growing body much differently than an adult. For example, for all exams using x-rays, or CT scans, extra precautions should be taken to minimize exposure dose while maintaining high image quality.
The Children’s Regional Hospital at Cooper wants you to know that for children needing radiology imaging services, Cooper University Radiology is staffed with fellowship-trained pediatric radiologists who specialize in the unique needs of children.
