MRI patient experienceComfort. Speed. Entertainment. MRI.

Most patients who undergo an MRI scan experience some level of anxiety. As a result, some move so much that they cause motion artifacts, can’t complete the scan, or don’t even show up for the exam. This all results in increased health risks and additional costs. Help patients overcome anxiety by turning MRI into a comfortable, fast, and entertaining experience that is in-sync with modern-day demands. Set up a relaxing atmosphere with calming design elements. Create a comfort zone for patients and ease their anxiety with in-bore entertainment and noise reduction. Unique applications can also accelerate the exam and support your staff in delivering fast and fluid scans.

Prepare patients according to their needs

Patients that can mentally prepare for the exam experience less anxiety. The Patient Education Toolkit offers materials for different coping strategies.

Create a patient comfort zone

MRI exams can be uncomfortable and noisy. Put your patients at ease with our comprehensive patient comfort  offerings that turn MRI into a comfort zone, including Quiet Suite, soft and ultra-lightweight coils, and positioning aids that raise your patients’ comfort level.


Ease patients’ anxiety

In the bore, patients can feel claustrophobic and tense because they don’t know what’s going on. Educate them before the exam starts using a mini MRI scanner mock-up or MRI models. You can also entertain your patients with infotainment solutions that redefine the MRI experience.


Innovision2 – the in-bore infotainment solution

Redefining the MRI experience
MRI exams are performed in a relatively confined space, they're noisy, and they can be long and boring. Innovision redefines the patient experience using a revolutionary in-bore infotainment solution. Patients are engaged by an impressive sound and video experience as soon as they lie on the table. The patient display keeps patient informed about their remaining scan time and displays predefined or custom content. Another big plus: The patient display makes the bore appear virtually larger, preventing a claustrophobic feeling. The Innovision solution also includes comfort pillows made of memory foam that reduce scan noise and deliver clear audio signals to the patient. With Innovision, the patient can hear their favorite music clearly. They can also hear voice commands from the MRI technologist, thanks to the integrated audio system and specialized ear plugs.

  1. New MRI Patient Experience Display

    Engage your patient even before the table moves into the bore with the unique patient display. The special design provides a comfortable viewing experience. In addition to a video, patients can see a display informing them about the remaining scan time – which can have a comforting effect. 

    What’s more, the display screen appears to be as far away as the top of a 90 cm bore – making the inside of the bore feel virtually larger. This is an added advantage for all patients, including those who are anxious or claustrophobic.

    The patient display is wireless and powered by Innovision rechargeable batteries that last for over four hours of continuous operation. At less than 6 kg, the system is very easy for the technologist to set up.

    Benefits

    • Engage patients before they move into the bore
    • Rich video experience with custom content
    • Remaining scan time shown on the patient display
    • Video display creates a larger bore impression
    • Easy to handle thanks to the wireless design and lightweight construction

Scan patients fast and fluid

Patients who feel uncomfortable during a scan will sometimes move or breathe when they shouldn’t. Scan your patients fast and fluid with clinical applications that complete the MRI exam much faster than conventional methods. Personalize scanning by offering MRI with free-breathing exams for patients who are unable to hold their breath. Provide your staff with our GO Technologies, which make scanning fast, more intuitive and consistent across your scanner fleet.

Accelerate your MRI workflow with BioMatrix and GO Technologies
Transform care delivery with BioMatrix and GO technologies for an optimized MRI workflow. From patient preparation to result distribution, these new technologies efficiently streamline your clinical operations by using intuitive and AI-based technologies.
 

Embrace human nature with BioMatrix Technology
Patients have unique individual characteristics: biovariabilities. Different physiologies and anatomies – as well as the way we interact with them and technology – cause unwarranted variations in imaging results. BioMatrix Technology helps overcome these challenges by embracing human nature: Instead of expecting patients to adjust to the technology, BioMatrix automatically adjusts to the individual patient. Only by embracing human nature can we truly personalize examinations and help expand precision medicine.

Turbo Suite

Setting the pace in MR acceleration with Turbo Suite
With rising patient volumes in the face of falling reimbursement, there is a clear need for greater efficiency. At the same time, the quality of exam results should not diminish.
