Abstract:
A device according to the invention is useful for providing viewable images and sounds to persons undergoing medical treatments, including radiotherapy, cosmetic, and other surgeries. According to the invention, there is provided an image source means, a Fresnel lens and an enclosure which is adapted to contain the image source means and Fresnel lens, and which also includes a means for attaching the enclosure to existing equipment associated with a medical procedure, wherein the existing equipment includes a flat surface portion upon which the patient is intended to lay in either a supine or prone position. A device according to the invention is especially useful in rendering children immobile during radiotherapy without the need for administration of anesthetics which are otherwise necessary to keep the child from shifting position while the therapy is administered. Elimination of anesthesia according to the invention improves the quality of life for the patient and his/her family, and imposes no burden on vital organs such as the liver, which is otherwise attendant to the administration of anesthetics.
