摘要：An immobilization and restraint technique in pediatric radiography is essential to minimize repeat rates. Achieving proper positioning is one important factor in infants and young children radiography and considered a major challenge facing the radiographic technologist due to the fact that infant and young children are unable to neither cooperate nor understand simple verbal direction. The challenge in such vital field also arises from the fact that it is the technologist responsibility to ensure patient safety and minimize patient's movement and discomfort during examination. Although age-appropriate communication skills, proper education and training are very effective, they could be difficult to exercise on all patients in the category of infants and young children in the field of radiography.
