East Hanover, N.J.-based Kessler Foundation expanded its neuroimaging capabilities with its recent addition of an MRI simulator.
Here are three things to know:
1. The MRI simulator mimics the experience of an actual MRI, including its sounds.
2. Designed to reduce anxiety, the MRI simulator allows scientists to capture optimal images when the patient is relaxed.
3. Kessler is collaborating with Mountainside, N.J.-based Children's Specialized Hospital on the use of MRI simulators to assist in Kessler's pilot study that focuses on autism spectrum disorders in pediatric patients.
