About Us
Radiology and Imaging Services can involve unfamiliar equipment, noises and sitting still — things kids don’t always enjoy. But here at Children’s Nebraska, our pediatric-trained experts know how to make a radiology visit enjoyable and comfortable for children.
Safety is our top priority at Children's, and parents can rest assured that we use careful and customized approaches tailored to each child.
No radiation remains in your child’s body after X-rays or CT scans.
We offer many alternative tests that don’t involve radiation.
We use “child size” doses to minimize long-term risks of overexposure to radiation. We calculate the amount based your child’s size, weight and condition.
Children’s is the only hospital in Nebraska offering the EOS System,® which uses the smallest amount of radiation needed for the most accurate images.
Our teams use nationally recognized standards, including ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable), as well as Image Gently® guidelines from the Alliance for Radiation Safety in Pediatric Imaging.
