We accept all patients, including children of all ages. However, the suitability of the scan depends on the child and the type of scan required. While x-rays are quick, MRI and CT scans can take longer and require the child to remain still for the duration.
Yes, parents are allowed to always remain with their child during the scan to provide comfort and reassurance.
No, we do not sedate children for scans. Our team is skilled in making children feel comfortable and ensuring the process is as smooth as possible.
Yes, we do offer Saturday appointments at select Qscan Radiology clinics. Please check the opening hours of your preferred clinic to confirm availability.
Children may not always be able to communicate their concerns or discomfort. This requires highly skilled and experienced staff who excel in communication, especially when working with younger patients. Additionally, scans for children can be more complex and take longer. Qscan’s expert paediatric radiologists specialise in the unique needs of children of all ages.
