A head stabilising kit 28 is provided for supporting and reducing head movement of a person during medical imaging procedures. The kit comprises a supporting cushion 10 having a generally rectangular shape, a length of between about 45-53cm and a width of between 30-40cm, such that it can be folded to mediolaterally cover the head of a person. The cushion comprises upper and lower layers, the upper layer 12 being formed from a viscoelastic material, such as memory foam, and the lower layer 14 being provided by a material, preferably non-viscoelastic, having a higher resistance to deformation and a lower viscosity than the upper layer. The kit also includes two elongate wedge-shaped supporting elements 30 that are insertable between the stabilising cushion and an inner surface 24 of the head coil 26. The cushion may be provided with one or more recesses 46 to receive a medical imaging compatible headset.
