Abstract: An apparatus for providing high resolution images to patients positioned in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device. The MRI device comprises a head coil arranged to surround a patient's head and to provide MRI images thereof, the apparatus comprising units for receiving video or picture image signals from an external source. The apparatus further comprises units for displaying a video or picture image, the display units being arranged in a housing, the housing being suspended in an arm comprising at least two successive members. A joint is between the housing and the adjacent member, a joint or joints are between the successive members, and a joint is between an attachment element for attaching the apparatus to the head coil, or other part of the MRI device, and the member adjacent to the coil attachment element, each being hinged to allow rotation of the joints.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for presenting high-quality auditory stimuli, receiving patient communication and providing noise cancellation within the environment of magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) equipment. A microphone is positioned in a noise attenuated channel for recording of the patient's voice. A microphone is disposed outside of a noise attenuated channel to directly record the sounds of MRI equipment during its operation. The signals generated by the microphones are employed to reduce the output of noise generated by MRI equipment.
