MRi Visor by Sound Imaging
The MRI Visors entertainment system mimics the immersive experience of a movie theater, distracting the patients from the constrictive, claustrophobic imaging equipment. This distraction relaxes patients and relieves their anxiety about the MRI environment.

WE'RE ABOUT QUALITY
AND TRUST.
MRI Visors can improve MRI productivity, reduce the need for sedation, and improve the patient’s experience. Patient anxiety arises from confinement in the imaging machine and from the loud gradient magnet noise. Anxious patients are more likely to move in the MRI, and require repeated scans. Some patients cancel their MRI appointments due to anxiety. With MRI Visors, fewer patients will need sedation, which reduces their risk and MRI testing costs. When given a choice between MRI facilities, many patients will be attracted to facilities with video entertainment.
