Synopsis
Undergoing an awake MRI-scan can be very stressful for young children and bears the risk that image quality is poor due to motion artefacts. Behavioral training by an experienced trainer has shown success in preparing children before a scan, however, this approach is costly and trainer dependent. We have designed a mobile app to prepare children for an upcoming MRI-scan at home. This app was tested by 52 children in four different hospitals. First data show that children and parents appreciate the app very much and that learning goals can be reached with a digital application at home.
