Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a system for reducing anxiety of patients before and during e.g. MR scanning examinations. The method is based on displaying images on walls () of the scanner room () so that when the patient enters the scanner room, then an image is displayed on a wall visible to the patient, e.g. a wall adjacent to the entry door (). When the patient is laying on the table () of the scanner () the projection of images is switched to another wall by reflecting the projected images using e.g. a mirror which is moved into the light rays emitted by an image projector.
