AMA Clinical Examples in Radiology - 2023 Issue 3 (Summer)
Cardiac MRI With VR Procedural Dissociation and Distraction
Summer 2023 pages 7-11 CLINICAL EXAMPLE 1 Cardiac MRI with VR Procedural Dissociation and Distraction CLINICAL INDICATION A 6-year-old female with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and chronic respiratory infections concerning for congenital vascular ring. PROCEDURE Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with virtual reality (VR) TECHNIQUE The risks and benefits of the procedure were reviewed with the parent of the patient, and informed consent was obtained. The parent was present in the room during the procedure. A trained nurse specialist, under the radiologist's direction, set up and initiated the VR-based distraction and dissociation system to achieve a dissociated and distracted state...
