Infographic: Radiation exposure during your child’s imaging exam

At Children’s Wisconsin, we are 100 percent dedicated to caring for kids and teens. That means we give them treatment meant specifically for them and their developing bodies, because kids and teens are not just smaller versions of adults.

If your child needs an imaging service, you can rest easy knowing that our experienced staff is specially trained to handle their needs. We will give them the best and safest care, and do the job right the first time.

What makes Children’s Wisconsin different

Special skills are needed to take medical images of children. The imaging staff at Children’s Wisconsin have these special skills. This means we take fewer pictures. We are always looking for new ways to improve safety and quality. To do this, we invest in technologies and equipment that reduce radiation exposure. We also reduce the dose of radiation to the lowest amount possible for each child. We use just enough to get high quality images.
