For patients, an MRI exam can be a long, stressful, noisy, experience. Feelings of anxiety and discomfort can make it hard to remain still and complete the procedure. This can lead to motion artifacts in the images, or to the need for rescans and even exam cancellations. Some patients need sedation to successfully undergo MRI.
To improve on this, Philips provides a holistic approach to help MRI patients feel comfortable and relaxed. During the scanning, an audiovisual experience and additional features can distract and inform patients. Users have collected data that illustrates how large the effect can be.
In an earlier study, Herlev Hospital had already been scanning with the initial version of In-bore Experience in their Ingenia scanner room with Ambient Experience. In a study performed in 2015, they demonstrated a 70% reduction in the number of interrupted scans on their Ingenia 3.0T with In-bore solution compared to the average of their five other Philips MRI scanners.
* Compared to the average of the other 5 Philips MR scanners without Ambient and In-bore Experience. Results from case studies are not predictive of results in other cases. Results in other cases may vary.

The study results show a significant (p = 0.005) decrease in the percentage of patients who required sedation** with the In-bore Experience, a substantial 80% difference.
