Clinical Trial Summary

The access to MRI examination is limited due to the duration of the acquisitions, the noise and the narrow patient space of the device. A child can, therefore, be anxious, less cooperative and move more during the acquisition, affecting the quality of the examination and the medical diagnosis. General anesthesia or sedation, may be considered to obtain diagnostic quality examinations. Our hypothesis is that a scenario as close as possible to reality to prepare children before the MR exam could reduce their anxiety, improve the quality of the exams and reduce its duration. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of virtual reality on MRI exam preparation to reduce the anxiety of children (aged from 6 to 12 years) who are referred to their first MRI exam, as compared to the current practice.
