Join the WEST X Fraser Health MRI Simulator Project Showcase!

The MRI Simulator Project Showcase is the final event in our semesters long project. During this time, teams of students from various disciplines developed a pediatric MRI simulator. The simulator is designed to replicate the physical appearance, auditory environment, and procedural experience of a real MRI machine, with the goal of helping children feel more comfortable and reducing the need for sedation during scans.
