Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
This environment is devised to deal with discomfort and claustrophobia associated with magnetic resonance imaging. The level of difficulty is high in this environment and it is divided up into three stages (hierarchal from lower to higher difficulty). In the first stage, the patient is located in a waiting room where they will listen to information given on a television screen. Anticipatory anxiety and psychoeducation can be worked on in this environment.
In the second stage, the patient will enter a room to get changed, the room is small and has no windows, and serves as exposure in a small closed space.
Lastly, in the third stage they will go to the magnetic resonance room, here they will be able to work on a diversity of hierarchy items: be present in the room while the technician speaks to them, lie down on the treatment bed, both partially and wholly enter the machine, and adjust the volume from low to high.
VARIABLES SETTINGS
- Body parts
Corresponding to the part of the body that will be scanned: leg, trunk, limb. - Television
This variable implies that the TV in the waiting room is on or off. - Sanitary mask
You can choose whether or not the people around you will have a mask.
EVENTS
- Zone 1
The patient will be in the waiting room, he will see how several avatars approach the reception desk. Then you must go to the changer. - Zone 2
The patient will be in the changing room and after an informative session that he will hear from a loudspeaker, he will go to the resonance room. - Zone 3
The doctor’s avatar will tell us some directions before we lie down in the resonance cabin. The patient should lie down to maintain the immersion and look towards the indication that will appear on the ceiling, to become lying in the environment. - Zone 4
The patient will enter the cabin and undergo the resonance process, the noise will depend on the configuration slider. At the end of the process the patient will leave the cabin and the avatar the doctor will inform us that the session has ended.
- Noise volume
The noise generated from the magnetic resonance machine can be adjusted in this slider. Do remember to use the platform volume (up down) as a further hierarchy exposure setting.
