Summary
This pilot study tests whether a themed, immersive experience can help children aged 3 to 6 complete an MRI scan without needing sedation or anesthesia. The experience includes four modules that simulate the MRI tunnel, noise, equipment, and need to stay still. If successful, it could reduce wait times and stress for families.
What this could mean

Active substance
Immersive experience (simulation modules)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could reduce the need for sedation or anesthesia in young children getting an MRI, making the process faster and less stressful for families.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early pilot study with only 114 children. The immersive experience may not work for all kids, and the study does not yet prove it can replace standard care.
