An abbreviated version of the write up up by Dr Elaine Kan
Imaging babies and young children can be challenging, particularly for lengthy MR exams. Various strategies can help children avoid sedation while reducing anxiety to ensure quality imaging.
1. Child friendly environment – Make the radiology experience fun
2. Effective communication – Building trust
Clear communication between radiographers, radiologists, parent/carer, and the child is essential.
3. Accompaniment and support – Familiar faces help
Allowing parents or soft toys to accompany the child during imaging provides comfort and reduce anxiety.
4. Sleep and feed – Keeping babies happy
The “Feed-and-Sleep” is a program for selected babies aged 0-6 months. Exams are booked at a time that coincide with babies’ sleep schedules.
5. Entertainment – A good movie helps
MRI compatible video goggle allows children to watch videos with a MR safe video player during the scan. Not only is this is a useful distraction tool, a good movie enhances patient compliance and experience.
6. Child-life specialist – Get help from the experts
Child-life specialists are trained to provide education and support, in addition their clever distraction techniques help the child stay calm and cooperative during the scan. B
7. Tailoring the scans
Tailoring scan protocols prior to the scan streamlines the exam and reduces table time.
a. Consider a plain scan, some clinical indications may not require a contrast exam
b. Shorten the scan time: Limit the number of sequences and utilise fast and single-shot sequences

MRI safety oversight: Gaps 'big enough to drive a truck through'
MRI safety oversight is spotty at best, with gaps "big enough to drive a truck through," according to Tobias Gilk, founder of Gilk Radiology Consultants in Overland Park, KS.
