When a child needs to go for an MRI scan it can be difficult to explain what will happen in hospital. This short video shows children and parents what the MRI scanning machine looks like, what it sounds like and what other children said about having a scan. It's reassuring and helps children to understand what happens. Children can watch it themselves or with their parent. If you have any other questions or think you or your child might find it difficult, please talk to the radiology team in hospital.
