Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if using aromatherapy (Lavender or Bergamot) will lower
anxiety in patients having invasive Radiology procedures. First, the level of anxiety is
assessed prior to the procedure using a questionnaire. Then, patients are given the
aromatherapy treatment during the pre-procedure period. Then, the same questions are asked to
determine how anxious the patient is after the aromatherapy and before going into the
procedure room. After the procedure, patients are asked to evaluate the process of the study.
