MRI Video Goggles
MRI video goggles were designed to assist Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) patients from experiencing the effects of claustrophobia by providing 3d video and audio. The goggles immerse the patient DVD video and audio assisting them in avoiding the uncomfortable feeling and mental anxiety of being in a very small contained area for a period of time. It is expected that the experience will also assist the patient in relaxing during the exam, assisting the technician in getting a better scan result.
The experience
The goggles produce a video image that is similar to what a person would experience from a five foot display screen set about ten feet away from the viewer. The goggles also provide a noise cancelling headset, and stereophonic sound. The patient can use one of a selection of on site DVD relaxation titles, or their favorite DVD video title. The goggles are lightweight, and could be worn by a child or an adult for an extended period of time. The image resolution is 180,000 pixels.
Benefits
The goggles are put in use to reduce patient cancellations, and minimize sedations due to claustrophobic effects.

- How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal, as its name suggests, is using a laser to remove any hair that is unwanted. The majority of the process is done with a thin light beam of laser passing through the area of the skin that is being treated. Within the skin, specifically the dark pigment, also known as the melanin [...]...
- Organ Growing
Organ growing is one of the new advances in medicine that would enable organ replacement. Human organs will be replaced internally or externally, using a replacement organ that was “grown” using a tissue or a cell from the patient himself. This new technology will make possible a virtually inexhaustible supply of organ replacements, thereby doing [...]...
- How a Nuclear Bone Scan Works
In the last several decades, medical technology has advanced in leaps and bounds. One of the most advanced technological instruments used in medicine today is the nuclear bone scan. A nuclear bone scan uses a radioactive tracer and high-resolution camera to identify areas of new bone growth or areas in which bone has broken down. [...]...

Robotics are now being used in gallbladder surgery, heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux correction and endoscope positioning. In the future, the applications of this technology will encompass closed-chest beating-heart surgery. Advantages of [...]...
Used them and loved them. cinemavision is the best.
Cinema Vision sucked! it made me more claustrophobic
Why are the goggles able to be used in the MRI machine? There must be gold, copper, sliver or aluminum in them.
great question..there are no ferrous materials, and copper shielding is used.
see cinemavision.biz
can you email some information about the video googles for MRI. Thank you.
Gave me a migrane, goggles hurt your head
