MRIs and Claustrophobia

Sory to bother the the Ladies and Gents with a non aviation related problem, but I am desperate.

Mrs Synth has been ill for seven years and in a great deal of pain. At last she has seen a Consultant who has some hope of a viable diagnosis. It involves her having an MRI.

Unfortunately she is chronically claustrophobic and when we tried to get her into the scaner she could not handle it.

I know from our two wheeled days that she was very uncomfortable in a crash helmet and am trying to get her to wear it to de-sensitise her.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

TIA
