MRI Simulator


MRI Simulator

MRI claustrophobia, anxiety, and excessive head and body motion 

Use of MRI technology is more important than ever for today’s researchers, professors, radiologists, nurses, technicians, and child life specialists.
Failed scans and unusable data caused by claustrophobia, anxiety, and excessive head and body motion cost significant time and resources where scan time is often expensive and limited.

With the MRI Simulator; training, patient acclimation, and pilot testing can quickly be done without the need for scanner access time.

The MRI Simulator provides a realistic approximation of an actual MRI scanner to allow acclimation and training of participants (and faculty/staff) in a controlled environment for a fraction of the cost of MRI access. The MRI Simulator introduces the participant to an authentic scanning environment, permitting them to gradually become accustomed to the scanning procedure.

The PST MRI Simulator is currently used in hundreds of academic institutions, hospitals, technical schools, and training facilities all over the world. Faculty and staff training, patient comfort and acclimation, fMRI research and task pilot testing. MRI Simulation is especially effective for child and special population MRI studies.
