CinemaVision MRI

This new state-of-the-art virtual entertainment system offered by the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore, allows patients to watch their favorite movies while having an MRI.

It's like watching a movie at a theater!

Your child wears a goggle-like viewer over their eyes, which displays their favorite movie. The system includes headphones and a microphone, which allows the MRI technicians and patient to communicate during the procedure.

The CinemaVision system helps your child relax while undergoing MRI exams, resulting in better quality images and less time spent in the MRI. 

The benefits of CinemaVision:

• The system helps a child or adolescent relax
• Decreases anxiety and reduces the need for sedation
• Children can bring in their favorite movie or choose from our selection
• CinemaVision can be hooked up to your iPod 
• MRI scans are more accurate and eliminates the need for rescans
