Abstract

A method, system and software product are provided such that a patient in an MRI suite can select and enjoy personalized lighting, music, images and video with a touch screen for a program that is displayed on a system interactive digital unit or device. A wide and advanced variety of pre-programmed themes can be provided with the system, as is the option of creating customized content by the healthcare provider. Image panels help to 'transport' the patient 'away' from the confining space in the magnet bore of the MRI scanner, moving the patient's focus from the scanner to his or her surroundings. A ceiling image panel displays images of the patient's choice. Patients can also “dock” their own electronic device to enjoy their own audio visual content. The lighting of the suite can be returned to normal lighting when required and then back to the patient's original selections.
