GE Healthcare’s Adventure Series for CT, MR, PET/CT and X-ray aims to put children first with an experience designed to make imaging more inviting for pediatric patients. These interactive solutions help clinicians make medical imaging less intimidating by transporting the child through “adventure themes” such as pirate ships or outer space. Noises generated by the imaging machines are incorporated into the adventure to keep them at ease throughout the scan (e.g. the sound of the scanner becomes a rocket ship hurtling through hyperspace). For other themes, children are instructed to hold still to see fish jump over a canoe or to be careful not to bump into the coral during undersea exploration.
