What this Trial Is About
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate whether a virtual reality based preparation method can efficiently decrease the proportion of children requiring general anesthesia during MRI examinations. Participants will take part in a virtual reality environment resembling an MRI before their scheduled MRI examination. Researchers will compare these children to usual care and a booklet based preparation method to see if less children need anesthesia for completing the MRI examination.
