The Simple Facts

• MRI procedures cause enormous anxiety in anticipation of, and during,  the process.
• These emotions often interfere with the MRI process, resulting in their termination prior to completion,  Repeating this process only increases anxiety and costs. 
• For children, the need to lie still for long periods of time, without a parent to entertain or console them, can be impossible, without sedation. For children, an MRI is terrifying.  
• For adults with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Syndrome (PPSD), confinement in such a small space,  often brings back the terrifying  memories of  their time in combat.

The Simple Solution

• A system, now available in private and Veteran Hospitals, but unavailable for children or adults with PPSD in military hospitals, will eliminate associated anxiety. 
• The use of the In-Bore System allows patients to watch movies or listen to music during the MRI. 
• The system has been proven almost 95% effective in distracting children and adults, from the “pounding sound” of the MRI procedure and the associated claustrophobia.  
• Importantly, this distraction decreases the need to retake many MRIS and greatly decreases the need for opioids.
