MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans are a powerful tool used by doctors to looking inside the body and diagnose or rule out a huge variety of conditions. The technology behind their use has revolutionised the way that many illnesses are investigated. However, for many children who do not know what to expect, the prospect of a scan can be daunting.

With this in mind, Dr. Kim Chilman-Blair and Dr. Kate Hersov teamed up with a leading graphic novel artist to create a series of comic books explaining health conditions to young people from a medical viewpoint. Each comic is written by doctors and peer-reviewed by leading specialists in each respective therapy area. Medikidz is a resource designed to educate not only young patients, peers and their parents, but also to aid practitioners and educators in explaining health conditions as effectively as possible.

The books follow a team of five larger than life superheroes from outer space. The Medikidz each specialise in explaining a different part of the body. Medikidz Explain MRI is an engaging way to educate children, teaching them what to expect when having a scan and what they can tell you about your body.

SYNOPSIS:

The Medikidz step in to teach Rachel all about MRI scans, what they're for, and what to expect when she has hers. With the help of Rory the Radiologist, Rachel gathers all the facts she needs in preparation for her scan, and learns a thing or two about how an MRI machine actually works to take pictures of the inside of the human body!
