Pediatric MRI at UVM Medical Center: Our Approach

The University of Vermont Children's Hospital offers a child-friendly and family-centered environment designed to put you and your child at ease.

Your Child's MRI

 At the UVM Children's Hospital, our goal is to make you and your child feel at ease throughout the process. Depending on what your child's needs are, we can offer two options for your child to watch a movie while in the MRI machine. (Please note: there are some scanners not equipped for movie set up).
