ABSTRACT:
A unique mirror optical system reduces the anxiety of patients due to claustrophobia during magnetic resonance imaging or the like. A back surface mirror is mounted on a spectacle frame which is attached to the patient's head with an adjustable elastic band. With the patient in the supine position, the mirror allows the patient to see over the head or feet to scenes placed on a distant surface. Since the patient can see "out", the confined feeling which triggers the claustrophobia response is greatly reduced or eliminated.
