MRI claustrophobia and unsuccessful scans are limiting for patients, stressful for staff, and costly for healthcare organizations.
But what if most of these scans could be completed successfully, without sedation, delays, or disruption to clinic flow?
In this interview, Cathy Caswell speaks with Mélanie Sarbach, a medical imaging nurse at Centre Imagerie Landes in France and a Practitioner in Logosynthesis®, about a quietly powerful innovation in patient care. When Mélanie noticed how often distress, fear, and mental imagery prevented patients from completing MRI scans, she was encouraged by a radiologist to “give it a try”, as long as it didn’t interfere with workflow.
What followed was remarkable.
By meeting with stressed patients for just 15 minutes before their scan, Mélanie helps them resolve the memories, beliefs, and mental imagery that block success. Over the past year, this approach has led to a 92% success rate among patients who had previously been unable to complete scans or who anticipated significant distress.
In this conversation, Mélanie shares:
- Why she began training in Logosynthesis after experiencing burnout and leaving the nursing profession
- Why she offers brief pre-scan Logosynthesis sessions to select patients
- How this approach supports clinical efficiency rather than slowing it down
- How improving patient experience also reduces stress for staff and costs for organizations
This interview offers a compelling example of how addressing the human experience of stress can directly improve health outcomes—without adding complexity to already busy healthcare settings.
🎧 Whether you’re a healthcare professional, administrator, or simply interested in patient-centred innovation, this conversation opens new possibilities for care.
