Can I Bring My Child to My Appointment?
Can I bring children to my imaging appointment? Can my child stay in the examination room?
1. Overview
We strongly discourage bringing children to diagnostic imaging appointments whenever another childcare arrangement is available.
2. What You Need to Know
Diagnostic imaging examinations require the patient and technologist to focus on the procedure.
Some imaging areas also involve radiation and other safety considerations.
3. Children at Your Appointment
Can I bring my child?
Our current patient guidance strongly discourages bringing children to your appointment because of safety, distraction and radiation-exposure considerations.
Can my child stay in the examination room?
Access to examination rooms is restricted based on the type of imaging being performed and applicable safety requirements.
4. Before You Contact MMI
Where possible, arrange childcare before your scheduled examination.
5. When to Contact MMI
Please contact us before your appointment if you cannot make alternative arrangements and need to discuss your circumstances.
