La magnetic resonance it is an exam that can be annoying and stressful. Unfortunately, even children may need it and in this case the situation becomes even more complicated. At the Regina Margherita in Turin they thought of a way that would make it easier and more fun to undergo this exam. Which? Realize a real enchanted forest.
An anti-stress magnetic resonance imaging was inaugurated yesterday which can be used by children who need this particular analysis. In fact, it should not be underestimated that it is a long exam that lasts an average of 30-40 minutes in which you have to stay completely still and which is often accompanied by a lot of anxiety about waiting for the response.
Just to try to limit the fear, the room, the walls and the machinery used to carry out the resonance were transformed into a landscape full of greenery, mountains, animals and stars. Look at the difference between before and after ...
Obviously the scenario serves to lower the tension and nervousness of the little patients. A concrete and effective way to limit the anxiety that often occurs before undergoing this exam. But it is not just decorations, while they wait, the little ones will be able to see their favorite cartoons and at the end of the resonance they will even receive a diploma signed by the doctor and nurse on duty for the courage shown.
The waiting room has also been designed in such a way as to favor the relaxation and tranquility of the little patients. In fact, puppets and games are available for children and all the walls are colored and designed to make the little ones feel at ease.
The project was realized thanks to the fundraising carried out by the Forma Foundation which last Christmas raised the necessary amount for the decorations which was estimated between 10 and 15 thousand euros.

It is not the first time that such an idea has been thought of (there is something similar, for example, to the Bambin Gesù in Rome) to make the stay of children who have to undergo tests and analyzes in the hospital less burdensome. We hope that the initiative will soon extend to other pediatric facilities in our country.
