This study will evaluate the effectiveness of using virtual reality (VR) to reduce distress in pediatric patients undergoing MRI scans compared to other methods of preparation. Children will be divided into four groups. The investigators hypothesize the children who receive Child Life preparation with VR will experience decreased distress compared to the other 3 treatment groups (no formal preparation, Child Life-led preparation, and MRI preparation video). The investigators also hypothesize that children who receive Child Life-led preparation will experience better decreased distress than current standard of care (no formal preparation) and MRI preparation video.
