Open MRI

We understand that medical tests can be intimidating, and that's why we're proud to offer Open MRI examinations combining state-of-the-art imaging technology with a more comfortable and open experience. Open MRI ensures you receive high-quality imaging while avoiding the typical confinement of traditional MRI machines. Say goodbye to feeling claustrophobic – here, we prioritize your comfort and peace of mind.

Wide Open Spaces


Conventional MRI scanners are a cylinder shape, while an Open MRI does not completely surround your body. Open Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or Open MRI, is a patient-friendly scan that is quieter and more comfortable for patients than a closed MRI. Open MRI gathers information about your body using a magnet, radio waves, and a computer to create detailed internal images of the body and transmits them for your doctor to see.

Claustrophobic and obese patients as well as those feeling anxious or concerned are often able to comfortably undergo Open MRI examinations.

Advantages of Open MRI


The open design of our machine reduces anxiety and eliminates the feeling of being enclosed. This is especially beneficial for patients who may be uncomfortable in tight spaces. It features a large and comfortable bed and opening, reduced noise and allows patients to relax during the exam.

Not only is our Open MRI more comfortable, but it's also efficient and accurate. In addition to enhanced comfort, this technology features high-field technology to provide outstanding image quality. The open design doesn't compromise on image clarity, and our caring, skilled technologists ensure minimal waiting time.
