Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate whether a virtual reality based preparation method can efficiently decrease the proportion of children requiring general anesthesia during MRI examinations.

Participants will take part in a virtual reality environment resembling an MRI before their scheduled MRI examination.

Researchers will compare these children to usual care and a booklet based preparation method to see if less children need anesthesia for completing the MRI examination.
