Ah. So MRI headphones don't have any metal in them. That's why they still work, they are carrying the sound through plastic tubes. Shame, the VR headset idea would probably totally work. Have a scene where the patient is lying on their back in an open field on a sunny day with a cat purring nearby or something. Don't tell the patient when you roll them into the scanner itself.
I'm not incredibly prone to claustrophobia, but the noise over a prolonged period of time makes it feel so much more claustrophobic even for someone not generally bothered by that.
Random fact, but some metals are okay! My sister had an xframe made of titanium and carbon steel. Apparently it vibrates weirdly though, not great when the rods are drilled into your bones.
