UPRIGHT HIGH-FIELD OPEN MRI
Features of our upright MRI include:
This is the only truly open MRI. There is nothing
in front of the patient’s face. The patient can
watch television on our big screen TV during their
MRI exam.
The upright design allows for positioning the
patient in the position in which the symptoms
are worse, leading to a greater likelihood of a
correct diagnosis.
Patients can be scanned in standing, sitting, lying down or partially tipped back potions for
maximum results and comfort.
Studies can be done in bending, extension, lateral bending, or rotation depending on the part
of the body being examined and the symptoms.
The midfield magnetic strength and advanced computer technology make for excellent
image quality.
The open design easily accommodates large patients.
The open design allows many children to be scanned without sedation as mom or dad
can stand right beside them during the exam.
