Advantages of Open MRI

Anyone can benefit from the comfort and convenience of open MRI. Open MRI is especially ideal for these patients:

• Those who are claustrophobic or nervous about imaging procedures.
• Young children, older adults or anyone who may require the presence of a loved one or caregiver during their procedure.
• Larger or bariatric patients who may not fit comfortably in a conventional bore machine.
• Orthopaedic patients who need images of an extremity that is difficult to center in a conventional bore machine, such as a hand, wrist, shoulder or foot.
