Empowering patients with the Ambient Experience in-bore Connect

Reducing patient stress to improve MR imaging outcomes

MRI, one of the most common imaging exams, presents a challenge for many patients. Ambient Experience for MRI solution already contributes to a positive patient and staff experience. The unique Ambient Experience in-bore Connect takes this experience to another level by providing information and guidance to the patient during scanning as well as information about scan progress. Studies* at Herlev Gentofte University Hospital in Denmark and Chiba Hospital Japan- have shown that Ambient Experience in-bore helps reduce the number of rescans.

Number of interrupted scans in a year in the six scanning rooms

The Herlev Gentofte University Hospital in Denmark compared the number of interrupted examinations before and after installation of the in-bore solution and compared to the experience with other scanners in the facility.

The data shows a 70% reduction in the number of interrupted exams for the ingenia 3.0T scanner with Ambient Experience and the in-bore Solution.

From the moment your patient is moved into the scanner – the point at which people report the most stress – through the conclusion of the examination, your patient will get a personalized and supportive experience. You can create an atmosphere that transports them out of the imaging suite into a relaxing environment of their choice.
 

The Ambient Experience in-bore Connect is linked in real-time with the Philips MR scanning software to provide information and guidance to the patient during scanning as well as information about scan progress.  An immersive video experience distracts and entertains patients while lying in the bore. Comfortable headphones allow patients to receive breath hold cues and a personalized progress bar indicating duration, enhancing compliance.
