The purpose of written information is to help patients prepare mentally for medical procedures and to support the patient’s perception of being in control27. Some studies have shown educating patients using videos and written information helps reduce MRI patient anxiety, motion artifacts, and​​ prematurely terminated​​ exams27,30,93.
