Fluoroscopic procedures help us save kids' lives!

When we image patients, radiation matters!
Children are more sensitive to radiation.
What we do now lasts their lifetimes.

Image kids with care:

• Pause and child-size the technique.
• Use the lowest pulse rate possible.
• Consider ultrasound or MRI when possible.
