Effects of Virtual Reality MRI Preparedness

NCT05086263 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 21

Summary

Magnetic resonance imaging is an important and increasingly prevalent imaging modality used in healthcare. Children often find the procedure anxiety provoking causing difficulty in staying still and providing quality images. The use of preparation techniques including play therapy and role play utilizing such tools as a fiberglass mock MRI have shown to reduce anxiety and facilitate better image quality. Modalities of preparation including Virtual Reality (VR) pose as an alternative to habituate children for a MRI procedure.

DEVICE

Pico G2 4k

On this virtual reality headset, it will be loaded with an educational virtual reality mock MRI training titled "Ready Teddy". This training explains the procedure to the viewer and addresses common questions that individuals often have regarding an MRI. Furthermore, using audio/visual cues, when the viewer moves their head too much in a MRI like setting they are reminded to stay still. Biofeedback training is aimed to mimic the experience of the MRI with real audio recordings of image acquisition, in order to adequately train the view to stay still in an MRI procedure.
