MRI Sound Systems

Patients that undergo MRI procedures can often become stressed and experience claustrophobia. MRI safe sound systems are a beneficial addition for any MRI suite that wants to reduce patient stress. Equipped for patient comfort, the MRI audio systems provide everything you need to relax your patients with music during their MRI scan. The success of the scan depends on limiting patient movement during the procedure to prevent a blurred image. The loud sounds created by the operation of the machine, combined with the enclosed space inside the tube, often makes remaining still a challenge for the patient. Non-magnetic sound systems are a great contributor to preventing those difficulties. The MRI sound systems not only make the experience more comfortable, they also increase patient compliance and in turn reduce the number of necessary exams. Many of the sound systems have an AM/FM tuner and can also play CDs to give the patient the option of listening to various types of music – an important aspect in reducing their stress.
The non-magnetic audio equipment offered by Universal Medical Inc. benefits MRI suites in many ways.

• Music enables patients to relax and better cope with claustrophobia while in the machine.
• Helps increase productivity by preventing the need to repeat scans due to patient movement.
• Decreases general stress of the patient, allowing more people to experience the benefits of an MRI scan.
• AM/FM tuner and CD player to give the patient the ability to listen to their desired type of music.

The simple solution to patient cooperation in remaining still and relaxed is to offer them the comfort of listening to music during their scan. The MRI compatible sound systems from Universal Medical Inc. are indispensable additions for hospitals and health care facilities that want to reduce patient stress and the potential for claustrophobia.
