High-Field Open MRI

Experience a more relaxing and comfortable exam with our open MRI.  The configuration of the open MRI, with its wide-open sides and the spacious design of the MRI suite, creates an airy space which will significantly reduce potential anxiety and discomfort.  A family member or friend* can sit in the same room, next to you** during your scan – even holding your hand for support.

In the picture you can see:
* A support person sitting on chair.

Our High-Field Open MRI service is ideal for patients with special needs – claustrophobia or those requiring a less confined space due to physical size or lack of flexibility. This brochure will tell you more about your MRI procedure.
