Why Buy an MRI Stereo System from Scan Sound?
Scan Sound MRI Patient Stereo Sound Systems deliver true STEREO Music to the Patients. If you are seeking quotes from other companies, be sure to clarify whether they are providing Monaural Audio or True Stereo Sound. Stereo Sound provides a spacious feeling for the patients, which is an important factor in terms of overcoming Claustrophobia.
Scan Sound has been providing quality MRI Stereo Sound Systems in Kit Form since 1986. The company's Chief Engineer, Barry Leeper is a Biomedical Engineer, CBET, Former MRI Technical Support Specialist and the inventor of the MRI Patient Stereo Sound System. Having worked in the MRI field since 1985, Barry routinely witnessed many MRI scans as they were being aborted on a daily basis by patients who just could not tolerate being placed into the MRI magnet. Each time this happened, the MRI scan center would lose revenue as they could not bill for the aborted scans.
The simple solution to getting the patients to cooperate was to offer them the comfort of listening to music during their scan. It was almost magical how many patients would just lie down, put on the headphones and never express concerns as they were slid into the magnet for their scan. Before long, many patients were telling their referring physicians that they actually preferred getting an MRI scan at the facility providing stereo music. Word quickly spread and Scan Sound began selling kits to MRI centers to meet the growing demand.
In these years of deminishing returns, Scan Sound believes that it should help keep the cost of the systems at prices that MRI Centers can easily afford. The MRI Stereo Systems will pay for themselves by overcoming the lost revenue that would otherwise be lost when patients abort their scans. Our systems are high quality and perform well on all types of MRI Scanners.
