Our child life specialists aim to decrease stress and anxiety for our pediatric patients by providing atraumatic experiences with developmentally appropriate interventions. Our pediatric population can perceive CT scans as threatening and scary due to the lack of cognitive maturity to understand that it’s not a threat.
Research has shown that short and long-term psychological effects can result from stressful or invasive medical procedures performed on children in the Radiology department. We know that enhancing the environment in our ER CT room will be effective in minimizing children’s fears and increase their cooperation, providing a positive medical experience. The projector’s images can be changed to best meet each patient’s specific needs.
