“I think this could be a big success” – A mixed methods study on practitioner perspectives on the acceptance of a virtual reality tool for preparation in MRI

A key part of a radiographer's role within MRI is providing the required emotional support to help patients succeed with a scan. Being informed is important; whilst information leaflets and videos are commonly used, these can be limited in their representation of the experience. Virtual reality tools are being shown to reasonably replicate a scan experience, having a positive impact on patient satisfaction and anxiety. The aim was to obtain the views of practitioners on the use and implementation of such a tool in practice.
