Open MRIs benefit larger patients and patients prone to claustrophobia and Panic Attacks; the patients are relaxed because open MRI procedures do not have any enclosed chambers involved, making for a more accurate picture focused on the affected region.
Open VS Closed MRI
In closed MRI machines, to obtain high-quality images, patients generally need to stay very still for the duration of the entire MRI procedure.
In an Open MRI, patients must stay still for shorter periods during the open MRI scan; images are generally more sharp and successful the first time.
Because patients must stay still for shorter periods during the open MRI scan, images are generally more sharp and successful the first time.
Less Unsettling Mechanical Noises
Compared with the traditional MRI systems, patients undergoing Open MRI are not exposed to the same unsettling mechanical noises because the machines are not enclosed as much around the patient.
Safe
Unlike other types of imaging, MRI does not use radiation, making it one of the safest medical diagnostic tests available, producing high levels of detail.
Provides Important Diagnostic Information
Often, MRI provides important diagnostic information that doctors cannot get from other imaging studies, and it can lead to the early diagnosis and rapid treatment of your condition in many cases.
These are just a few advantages of using an “Open MRI.” Check with your doctor to see if the Open, “Comfortable, Safe” MRI is right for you. Then call Global DX Imaging One to set up an appointment
