| dc.description.abstract | This chapter provides a comprehensive guide to paediatric patient management in hybrid imaging, integrating technical considerations with family-centred approaches from scheduling the procedure to patient discharge. It starts with best practices for scheduling, followed by techniques for creating a welcoming, child-friendly environment that fosters trust and rapport. Patient preparation is discussed, focusing on technical requirements and methods to explain procedures to children and parents/caregivers. Strategies for minimizing discomfort during the injection are explored alongside reassuring communication. The image acquisition section highlights obtaining high-quality hybrid and non-hybrid images, with a best practice attitude, while maintaining the child’s comfort and cooperation through child-friendly language and immobilization devices. Finally, the discharge process emphasizes clear communication about post-procedure radioprotection and care and addressing concerns to ensure a positive experience. The chapter concludes with a checklist proposal for NM practitioners to self-evaluate communication with children and parents/caregivers. Overall, it provides strategies for best practice imaging and also practical insights and best strategies to improve the care and comfort of young patients, ultimately leading to better outcomes and higher satisfaction. | eng |
