That's especially challenging for
children. In fact, more than 70 per-
cent of the 4,000 kids who undergo
MRIs at Children's each year need
sedation before the procedure.
By using CinemaVision instead
of administering drugs, Children's
hopes to save time — perhaps as
much as two hours — for patients
and their families, eliminate risks
that accompany sedation, and
reduce stress and anxiety for kids.
"We can get kids through faster
and make them more comfortable,"
Zerin said.
CinemaVision is fully compatible
with MRI technology. It also allows
two-way communication between
patients and technicians and
doctors, which is a critical safety
feature. The Sinai Guild, a philan-
thropic organization that supports
health and medical needs in the
Detroit area, provided funding for
CinemaVision.
"We absolutely understand the
fright of the child and the worri-
some part of sedation," said Rusty
Rosman, president of the Sinai
Guild's 60-member board. "If we
can make it easier for children to
have to deal with a medical proce-
dure, we want to. We're pleased to
make a difference." El
