Summary: This study examines whether a virtual reality experience can be used to prepare children aged 4- 10 years age for magnetic resonance imaging scans. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important type of medical imaging frequently used in paediatric care. Successful image acquisition needs children to enter and lay still in a narrow tunnel for 30-60 minutes. This environment can be anxiety provoking for children, and some children will refuse to lie on the magnetic resonance imaging table. This study examines whether a virtual reality (VR) experience can be used to prepare children aged 4- 10 years age for magnetic resonance imaging scans.
