Health procedures happening inside a hospital often create stress for children. That anxiety makes the imaging process more difficult for both the child and the medical professionals performing the test.
For the accurate diagnosis that leads to effective treatment of your child’s health condition, you want the best and most comfortable imaging experience possible, supported by top-quality facilities, equipment, services and healthcare professionals, with everything nearby.
That’s why you want your child’s imaging tests to take place at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital in Oklahoma City – Oklahoma’s first hospital using advanced technology to calm children’s fears during radiology procedures.
At Oklahoma Children’s Hospital’s groundbreaking radiology suite with special multisensory equipment, your anxious child gains more control of the surroundings while undergoing pre-operative procedures and imaging processes. That greater sense of self-control helps your child relax, which, in turn, improves procedures and test results, as well as possible outcomes. The Children’s Hospital’s Child Life specialists, always on hand, understand how to connect with your child and help soothe fears related to imaging activities.
Imagine your child traveling around the world while undergoing a fluoroscopy procedure. That’s a reality within the imaging and radiology area at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital. In fact, the Philips Healthcare Ambient Experience interactive technology suite, first of its kind in the nation, allows your child an escape into the environment of their choice during the imaging process.
When children can make choices, they feel more in control, which reduces their anxiety. During procedures, children focus on and interact with images on the walls of the imaging suite, which distracts their attention from the radiology procedure.
