Leo Learns about CT Scans - Nicole Jacobsen

Big machines can look a little scary.
But sometimes, understanding makes everything smaller.

When Leo visits the hospital for a CT scan, he notices a large, round machine and wonders what it does. It looks different, and he feels a little unsure at first.

With the gentle guidance of a kind healthcare professional, Leo begins to understand that the CT scanner isn't scary - it's a special camera that helps doctors take pictures of the inside of the body.

Through warmth, curiosity, and reassurance, Leo learns that the machine doesn't touch him, doesn't hurt, and helps doctors understand how to make people feel better.

He also discovers that patients are brave - and that one day, he might help people too.

This comforting and beautifully illustrated children's book:
• Helps children feel less afraid of CT scans and medical imaging
