AB For patients, undergoing PET/MRI and PET/CT carries a psychologic burden that may be lessened by effective education beforehand. We devised an online resource to explain the imaging process to patients before they undergo PET/MRI or PET/CT. Methods: We produced 2 patient-information videos explaining the journey of the patient through the process of undergoing PET scanning. Actual patients were recruited to review the style and content of the videos at each stage of their production, as well as the finished product. Results: The 2 videos were produced and reviewed, and positive feedback was obtained both from the patients and from health-care providers. Conclusion: Involvement of patients in the production of the informational videos had a positive impact on the finished product and its potential benefit.
