Open MRI

An open MRI is a type of imaging scan that produces detailed pictures of the inside of the body using strong magnetic fields and radio waves. Unlike traditional MRI machines, which are enclosed and can feel restrictive, open MRI scanners have a more spacious design with open sides or a wide opening, reducing discomfort for patients who are claustrophobic or larger in size. This technology allows for high-quality images needed for accurate diagnosis while providing a more comfortable experience. It is commonly used for imaging the brain, joints, and soft tissues.
