Synopsis

We investigated the psychological state of patients in an MRI examination room equipped with LED-backlit photoprints (SKY LIGHT). We surveyed patients who had completed their examinations in the room about their impressions of the room. The patients' responses were categorized into three types based on their words: positive, negative, and indifferent, and the percentages were calculated. 74.5% of the patients had positive impressions of the rooms after the examination. In conclusion, the results suggest that MRI rooms with SKY LIGHT can give positive impressions to patients.
