Hello! I am the author of this website. I will be grateful for a small favour (not money!). Apart from medical equipment, I have an interest in psychology and have got to know that up to one-third of patients who are scheduled for an MRI scan have considerable anxiety about it. To help such people, I have created a free website, called happymri.com, which gives tips on how to relax during an MRI scan. However, I have no budget to publicise the website. I would be very grateful if you could please share the name of the website (happymri.com) with your local MRI department so they can share it with their patients. The website is completely free. You are most welcome to visit it by clicking below.
Hello! My name is Pras and I am the author of this website that you are now reading. I have made this website completely free to access so that people from all over the world can benefit from it.
If you can afford it, I would be very grateful if you would consider making a single donation of one dollar (or the equivalent in your currency) to help cover the expenses needed to run this website (e.g. for special software and computers). For this website to survive, donations are desperately needed. Sadly, without donations, this website may have to be closed down.
Unfortunately, perhaps because many people think that someone else will donate, this website gets only very few donations. If you are able to, please consider making a single donation equivalent to one dollar. With support from people like you, I am sure that this educational website will continue to survive and grow.
