Toy scanner at Grantham helps children's fear
A toy version of an MRI scanner has been introduced at a Grantham District Hospital to put children at ease before their own scans.
Youngsters can pretend to scan a toy in the "kitten scanner", which is intended as a teaching aid.
Staff at the hospital say at least 28 children didn't need a general anaesthetic before their scans after playing with the "toy".
The United Lincolnshire Hospitals Charity bought the machine for 拢15,000 and a spokesperson said it has already recouped its price tag through savings.
