With customizable video projection , sound and lighting , the Philips Ambient MRI sys - tem provides a pleasant distraction for patients undergoing an MRI study . The experience can be ns particularly beneficial for children and people who become uncomfortable in enclosed spaces . Patients can choose from several environ - ments , including the beach , mountains and an underwater vista , to view while in the magnet of the MRI machine . With the help of a special viewing aid , the patient’s field of view fills with breathtaking video of the chosen theme . This creates a relaxing environment and helps patients remain still during long studies , resulting in better images and less need for re - scans . A virtual countdown timer can also be projected to inform patients of how long they need to remain still or hold their breath . ? SouthJerseyBiz.net | VOLUME 10 ISSUE 12 | SOUTH JERSEY BIZ | 27
