This is a research study designed to translate and validate a questionnaire called the Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Anxiety Questionnaire (MRI-AQ) into Italian. The goal is to create a reliable tool that accurately measures the anxiety and fear that cancer patients experience during whole-body imaging scans—a safe, radiation-free imaging technique used to detect cancer and monitor treatment.
Many cancer patients—up to 37% of adults—experience significant anxiety, fear, or claustrophobia during imaging scans. This anxiety can affect image quality, lead some patients to stop the scan early, or even cause lasting fear of medical imaging. Researchers need a precise tool to measure and understand these feelings so they can better support patients and design ways to reduce distress.

If you enroll, you will be asked to complete a questionnaire that measures your anxiety and feelings before, during, and possibly after your imaging scan. The questionnaire is designed to be straightforward and takes a reasonable amount of time to complete. This helps researchers understand your experience and refine the tool so it better serves future cancer patients.
