Pediatric imaging and the International Day of Radiology (#IDoR2015)—Children are not small
adults. They have different medical concerns compared to adults—and X-ray doses must be “kid
sized” accordingly. Find out more; parent resources are available. #IDoR2015


Pediatric imaging and the International Day of Radiology (#IDoR2015)—Exploratory surgery is
often no longer necessary for children with suspected appendicitis. Falls often no longer require
days in the hospital to observe children for suspected concussion. Scans quickly and accurately
provide information to physicians and families that used to require invasive (and often expensive)
procedures or long hospital stays to acquire. Scan results allow physicians to quickly address
urgent situations or rule out illness or injury to give parents peace of mind. Learn more.

Pediatric imaging and the International Day of Radiology (#IDoR2015)—Radiation therapy is a
modern result of Roentgen’s discovery of the X-ray. Today, 44 percent of children diagnosed with
cancer are treated with radiation therapy, helping to save countless lives. It is no coincidence that
survival for many childhood cancers, and other diseases and injuries, has dramatically improved
over the last few decades as use of these technologies has increased. See more about the

you know only one thing about imaging procedures in children, let it be that there is a growing
awareness of the opportunities to lower and limit dose in medical imaging and intervention in
children without compromising quality. Ask questions and then direct your pediatrician or
radiologist to these pages. http://www.imagegently.org/ www.IDoR2015.com
