Summary

The objective of the LEGO®Bricks MRI project is to study a new play-based tool for use in children preparing to undergo MRI and evaluate its ability to reduce the need for anesthesia.

A randomized study design will be employed in the experimental "Child Life" (CL) group, in regard to which Child Life intervention patients will have. Age matched controls will be found retrospectively, and will be patients of the same age, undergoing their first non-contrast brain MRI with no Child Life intervention.

Patients in the CL group will be prepped by a Certified Child Life Specialist with the use of one of the following 2 tools, to be randomly selected:

1. LEGO Bricks model MRI (A model of the MRI machine and adjacent control room made out of LEGO bricks)
2. Mock MRI tube (A six foot long pop-out play tunnel for children, with a diameter of around 17 inches to simulate the MRI magnet bore)
