"Do highlight to us before the scan, we may try to make you make your experience more pleasant and less stressful with the following: 1)We have MRI facilities that creates a calming environment during the scan by using soothing lighting, soundscapes, and even visual displays that can help distract you from the enclosed space. 2) You might want to discuss a sedation option with your clinician. Sedation can help you relax and feel more comfortable during the procedure. However, do note that it may require a rescheduling of the scan to a later date."
