From Claustrophobia to Calm: How MRI Compatible Video Systems Help Patients Relax During Scans
Undergoing a scan in the confined tunnel of a conventional magnetic resonance imaging unit can be a daunting experience. Many patients undergoing a closed-tube MRI suffer from anxiety, discomfort or motion during the exam, which may degrade image quality and prolong scan times. In this regard, the introduction of improved solutions for the in-bore MRI environment is proving transformational—particularly the deployment of an MRI-compatible video system (also referred to as an in-bore MRI cinema system ) that allows patients to watch videos or entertainment while inside the scanner bore. how such systems improve the MRI in-bore experience , especially in the context of in-bore MRI in India , and how they help reduce scan anxiety. Understanding the In-Bore MRI Environment The term in-bore MRI refers to the region inside the scanner tunnel (the “bore”) where the patient lies during imaging. Patients often face the following challenges: A narrow tunnel, which can trigger feelings of co...
