Not Comfort

A totally different MRI Experience

nordicComfortSolution components
An MR-compatible audio system that brings quality sound to the MR environment.

By observing everyday life of MR technologists, we see that they often need to spend more time than scheduled making a patient comfortable enough to undergo a scan. To successfully attend to the needs of anxious patients, MR technologists need tools that will help shifting patient focus to something other than the examination.

InroomViewingDevice

With its slim design, high definition 40” display and superior picture quality, the InroomViewingDevice is the optimal choice for an easy-to-use alternative to conventional projectors or goggle-based image delivery systems.

This is the ideal tool to provide images or video inside the MRI scan room.

nordicComfortPlayer

The nordicComfortPlayer was made to ensure speed and ease of use. The player allows the MR technologist to control the rotation of the screen, volume, and it’s easy to find video content or radio stations. The nordicComfortPlayer allows for a number of different media options: stock movies, importing licensed content, and streaming services such as Netflix™, Disney+®, Hulu™, Youtube™, HBO Max™, etc.*

In addition, to present the content there is also option to present the remaining scanning time and “Breath Hold”. Presenting it both auditorily and visually will increase the success rate of that procedure.

Touchscreen in the Control Room

The nordicComfortPlayer is operated through a computer with a sleek touchscreen design, which minimizes its footprint in the MRI control room. With just a single press of a button or two, the MR technologist can easily start the entertainment system using the touchscreen interface, making it a convenient and user-friendly option.

nordicIn-Bore Mirror

Not every MR-scanner has a free-standing mirror. The alternative has been to use the mirror solutions that come with the head coil, but many patients feel that the head coil is intimidating, and the free-standing over body mirror can be used alternatively when ahead coil is not needed.

The mirror has two view options, single- and dual mirror, which allows you to use the mirror independent of which direction the patient lies in the scanner.

The mirror fits most 60 cm and 70 cm scanners.

“We can reduce the time you block the scanner, for anesthesia, with more than a half. With patient entertainment you get three patient through instead of one.”

Matthias Kündel

Universitätsklinikum Tübingen - Germany

“We saw that the number patients who needed sedation or anesthesia went down because we had the posibility to provide movies. Patient entertainment saves us lot of time and it saves the patient from using sedation.”

Bac Nguyen

Benefits
An MR-compatible audio system that brings quality sound to the MR environment.

It is estimated that up to 30% of patients suffer from claustrophobia during MRI scans, while patient motion appears in up to 29.4% of MRI scans. Furthermore, data shows that as many as 30% of pediatric patients are given anesthesia/sedation during MRI examinations.

nordicComfortSolution can help to reduce these numbers.

Distract the patient

By using  nordicComfortSolution, MR technologists can offer patients an enjoyable distraction during MRI scans, helping to shift their focus away from the examination and towards the entertainment provided.

Reduce anxiety

With up to 30% of patients experiencing claustrophobia during MRI scans, the nordicComfortSolution aims to reduce anxiety levels by providing an alternative focus for patients during their MRI examination.

Increase comfort

With the nordicComfortSolution, patients can enjoy high-quality entertainment while in the MRI machine, providing an increased level of comfort during what can be a stressful experience.

Reduce sedation

Anesthesia and sedation during MRI examinations can add significant costs to the procedure. By using the nordicComfortSolution, hospitals can reduce the need for anesthesia and sedation, saving both time and money.

Save time

Offering patients the attractive option of watching a movie during an MRI exam can help them feel more comfortable and cooperative, ultimately saving time for both the patient and the radiographer. By providing a distraction that helps to alleviate anxiety, patients are more likely to remain still during the scan, leading to better imaging results.

Save money

By reducing the need for anesthesia and sedation, hospitals can save on the extra costs associated with these procedures. Additionally, investing in an entertainment system like the nordicComfortSolution can save hospitals money in the long term, returning the investment costs after only 100 non-sedated patients.

Easy to install

nordicComfortSolution is easy to install. With the lightweight and height adjustable mobile foot stand allowing for easy positioning of InroomViewingDevice anywhere in the MRI room. The system is also run on the a computer, which has a clean and slim design, minimizing the footprint in the MRI control room.

Easy to use. Easy to like

The nordicComfortPlayer allows MR technologists to easily control the rotation of the screen, volume, and access a variety of different media options with just a few buttons. The player is also easy to find video content or radio stations, and presents the remaining scanning time and "Breath Hold" both visually and auditorily, increasing the success rate of that procedure.

FAQ
