How does open MRI technology differ from traditional MRI?
Open MRI uses a different magnet design that creates a more open environment, reducing claustrophobia and accommodating larger patients. While the magnetic field is slightly weaker, modern open MRI systems provide high-quality images for most diagnostic needs.
What are the benefits of open MRI for patients?
Open MRI reduces anxiety and claustrophobia, accommodates patients up to 550 pounds, allows for more comfortable positioning, and enables family members to stay close during the scan. This makes MRI accessible to patients who couldn't tolerate traditional closed systems.
When is open MRI the preferred choice?
Open MRI is ideal for claustrophobic patients, pediatric cases requiring parental presence, patients with mobility issues, and those needing specialized positioning. It's particularly useful for extremity and spine imaging where patient comfort is crucial.
Why Use Open MRI Scans
Open MRI scans offer a comfortable, less confined alternative to traditional MRIs, ideal for anxious or claustrophobic patients, and those with mobility limitations.

Matthew McPherson
Gold star! I was recommended SKANNR after not knowing where to turn in my search of a diagnosis on a long lasting injury that has taken nearly a year to get anywhere near a scan with the nhs. The same day I booked a scan at a local centre I was called by Skannr.
