Conclusions: By evaluating the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the participant’s vital measurements (including pulse, respirations per minute, and blood pressure), this study can assess if music therapy sessions can be useful for lessening patient anxiety and increasing relaxation during diagnostic imaging studies. Once our data is collected, it will be analyzed and presented at the annual meeting.
