About this trial
The goal of this explorative observational study is to map the procedure and child centered approach in the examination for children that undergo conventional X-ray examinations. The main questions aim to answer:
* How many images need to be retaken during conventional X-ray examinations? * What is the reason why the pictures need to be redone? * What is the time required for the various examinations? * What experience of the procedure of the examination is there among those involved? * Can the physical impact be observed through variation in heart rate in children that undergo conventional X-ray examinations?
Participants will answer questionnaires about the children's participation in the procedure and the variation in heart rate will be measured on the children who undergo the examinations.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Children ages 4-12 yrs who undergo standard x-ray examinations
parents to the child
assigned radiographers
Disqualifiers
Children and parents who have cognitive and/or language difficulties
Trial population
The population consists of the people who are involved with the child undergoing an X-ray examination. Which are the children who are to undergo conventional x-rays and are between the ages of 4-12 years. Those who are accompanying this child and the radiographers who carry out the examination will also be there.

Treatments tested in this trial
Measurement of variation in heart rate
Diagnostic testThe children will be given a portable device that will monitor their heart rate, enabling the recording of the rate of their pulse.
