Play-based LEGO® MRI Scanner set reduces anxiety and sedation for children in hospitals worldwide

BILLUND, DENMARK, 13 October 2025 – Over one million children around the world have used the LEGO Group’s MRI Scanner set, helping transform a potentially stressful medical procedure through a playful, hands-on learning experience.

The set, which features a scanner, patient bed, waiting room, scanning room, staff minifigures and medical accessories, was designed by the LEGO Group and the LEGO Foundation to help children understand MRI procedures by learning through play. MRI scans are frequently used in pediatric care because they do not use radiation.

New research conducted by the LEGO Group revealed that 96% of healthcare professionals globally who used the LEGO MRI Scanner set say the model helps alleviate children’s anxiety, and 46% report that it has reduced the need for sedation or anesthesia during MRI procedures.

Since 2023, more than 10,000 LEGO MRI Scanner sets have been
