Undergoing an MRI examination is an essential diagnostic tool that aids in the early detection and treatment of various diseases. However, for some individuals, the experience can be daunting due to MRI claustrophobia. Studies indicate that up to 15% of MRI examinations may result in claustrophobic reactions, potentially leading to patients avoiding crucial screenings. At Synergy Radiology, we prioritise patient comfort and have created an environment specifically designed to alleviate anxiety and ensure a calm MRI journey.

At Synergy Radiology, we have meticulously designed our MRI suite with your comfort in mind. Our spacious room is thoughtfully furnished, featuring soft, natural lighting that creates a soothing ambience. The gentle airflow maintains a fresh and relaxing atmosphere, contributing to a sense of calmness during your examination.

Understanding the importance of creating a serene atmosphere, we provide various amenities to enhance your comfort. Upon arrival, you will be offered eye masks to help you relax and minimise any potential distractions. Additionally, we encourage you to bring your favourite music, which can be played in the background, allowing you to find solace in familiar tunes and further divert your attention.

At Synergy Radiology, we acknowledge that individuals may experience varying degrees of claustrophobia and anxiety. For those with minor claustrophobic tendencies, we work closely with your referring doctor to discuss available options that can help manage panic and ensure a more comfortable experience. Our compassionate team is committed to understanding your unique needs and providing personalised support throughout the process.

For patients with more significant claustrophobia or heightened anxiety, we offer specialised sedation appointments when deemed suitable. Our experienced healthcare professionals will assess your situation, taking into consideration your medical history, to determine the most appropriate sedation approach. Rest assured, your safety and well-being are of the utmost importance to us, and our team will guide you through the entire process.
