00:00Clinicians at Calderdale Royal Hospital say a new MRI experience is helping more children
00:06successfully complete their scans.
00:08The hospital is the first NHS site to introduce the Philips Ambient Experience with Disney
00:13themes, which uses iconic characters, lighting and sound to help make scans feel less frightening
00:19for children.
00:20Around 180,000 children in the UK undergo MRI scans each year, with approximately one
00:27in three requiring a general anaesthetic because they struggle to stay still or find the experience
00:33distressing.
00:34This immersive environment can help shift attention away from the clinical setting, creating a
00:40more comforting and engaging experience during scans.
