  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Control Group 1
Patients who receive anesthesia (general or conscious sedation) for completion of their MRI scans as ordered by the physician.
Drug: Standard of Care: Anesthesia
Patient receives anesthesia as ordered by the physician.
Active Comparator: Control Group 2
Patients who receive oral or intravenous sedation [i.e., benzodiazepines such as lorazepam (Ativan), diazepam (Valium), alprazolam (Xanax), or equivalent] for completion of their MRI scans, as ordered by the physician.
Drug: Standard of Care: Sedative
Patient receives a sedative as ordered by the physician.
Experimental: Intervention Group
Patients scheduled for MRIs with anesthesia or a sedative choose to use the immersive entertainment glasses (instead of the physician-ordered anesthesia or sedative) for completion of their MRI scans.
Device: Immersive entertainment glasses
Use of immersive entertainment glasses during the MRI procedure.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Anxiety relief (self-report measure 2 - Visual Analog Scale for Anxiety)
Time Frame: 15 to 120 minutes (depends on the duration of the MRI procedure)
Patient's anxiety will be measured using the Visual Analog Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A), a slider scale of 0 - 100 is used to self-report anxiety (0 = not anxious and 100 = extremely anxious), taken before and after the MRI procedure.
15 to 120 minutes (depends on the duration of the MRI procedure)
Anxiety relief (physiological measure - heart rate)
Time Frame: 15 to 120 minutes (depends on the duration of the MRI procedure)
Heart rate is measured before and after the MRI procedure. Increased anxiety may cause elevation of this physiological indicator.
15 to 120 minutes (depends on the duration of the MRI procedure)
MRI completion rate
Time Frame: Immediately after the MRI procedure.
MRI completed successfully = yes or no
Immediately after the MRI procedure.
MRI Image Quality
Time Frame: Immediately after the MRI procedure.
Quality of the images as noted by the radiologist on the MRI report.
Immediately after the MRI procedure.
