Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute uses Ambient Experience to help ease a patient through a cardiac MRI


COVID-19 has impacted millions of people around the world, including athletes. Teams have formed `bubbles' to help contain the spread, but even then, players have become infected. 

One such patient, an athlete who had recovered from COVID-19 needed a negative cardiac MR scan to return to play. His only prior experience with an MRI scan was in a `feet-first' position for imaging of his lower extremities. He was a large and reluctant patient, the idea of going into the bore head-first made him very nervous.

This patient went to Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute (MCVI), the most comprehensive cardiovascular facility in the region. MCVI had a new Philips Ingenia Ambition 1.5T MR system which they outfitted with an engaging environment designed to relax patients - Philips Ambient Experience.

With Ambient Experience In-bore Connect and the advanced features of the Ingenia Ambition 1.5T, the athlete was able to undergo the diagnostic exam without incident and returned to normal play. 

Now with Ambient Experience, nearly every single patient goes through without issue. In the nearly two years we’ve been using it, I can count on one hand the number of patients who’ve quit on us.”

Results


Innovative features of the In-Bore Connect solution provide information and guidance to the patient during scanning. The MR combined with Ambient Experience not only offers MCVI patients an entirely new exam experience, it supports improved staff satisfaction.

Our workflow has definitely improved… Having Ambient Experience has definitely impacted our procedural efficiency. Our exam times are significantly shorter, and retakes much fewer.”
