“It gives them confidence”: an “MRI in play” installed at the Strasbourg hospital to relieve children’s stress. This replica of a child-sized MRI machine in the shape of a rocket produces the same noises, sometimes impressive, as the real machine.
In more than 8 out of 10 cases, small patients avoid sedation thanks to the "MRI in game", according to a study carried out in hospitals which have had the machine installed. The simulation only takes a few minutes and helps children a lot.
