Abstract Infants and children require special attention when receiving care in the radiology department. Manual restraint techniques and commercial immobilizer devices may be used to keep the pediatric client motionless during the radiograph. Decreasing client motion helps improve image quality, thus decreasing the need for repeat x-rays. Minimizing the radiation dose is particularly important for the pediatric client. This article presents safe and effective care measures and management for pediatric immobilization techniques in the radiology department.
