Step Lightly

Interventional radiology helps us save kids' lives!

But, when we treat patients, radiation matters!

Children are more sensitive to radiation.

What we do now lasts their lifetimes

Treat kids with care:

Step lightly on the fluoroscopy pedal.

Stop and child-size the technique.

Consider ultrasound or, when applicable, MRI guidance.
