Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Age 18-85

- Able to read and write Dutch

- Able to observe the visual stimuli applied to the ceiling, i.e. normal vision or
corrected to normal vision.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients who have undergone a CT scan after the SkyCeiling was installed (this is a
rare event) are excluded. This because of the fact that these patients might remember
the look of the CT unit either with or without the SkyCeiling and could thus become
more aware of the intended anxiety-reducing effect of the intervention, or the lack
thereof if randomized to the control group.

- Patients who undergo a second scan during the run time of this study (this will be a
rare event) will not be included a second time. The data of their first scan remain
included.

- Patients who lie with their face down or are otherwise incapable of looking at the
ceiling will be excluded.
