Who is supposed to hold a child during an X-ray examination?

When it comes to holding patients, many factors are considered. If a parent isn't pregnant, they are often the best choice. It can be reassuring to the child and the risk is very minimal. Nurses, grandparents, really anyone but the x-ray tech is the best choice. The x-ray tech is the last choice due to the relatively higher amount of radiation exposure that they are exposed to.
