Prospective Study Assessing the Validity of Y-PAS (Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale) to Predict Patients Undergoing Magnetic Resonance Imaging Without the Use of Sedation/General Anesthesia

The mYPAS (Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale) is a quick, easy, validated and "gold standard" assessment tool to measure pediatric anxiety in the perioperative period. Therefore the objective of the current prospective study is examine if the mY-PAS is an effective screening tool to differentiate patients who would succeed versus fail for MRI without sedation/anesthesia.
