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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

If you want to upgrade your nordicComfortSolution to a Basic fMRI Solution, you will need to add the SyncBox and ResponseGrips, and nordicAktiva. The SyncBox provides precise synchronization of the stimuli with the MRI scan, while the ResponseGrips allow patients to respond to the stimuli during the scan. The nordicAktiva software provides a wide range of stimulus presentation options, making it easy to create and present stimuli during fMRI scans.
