What Is an Open MRI?

 

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging examination that uses a strong magnetic field, radio waves, and computer technology to create detailed images of structures inside the body.

Unlike traditional MRI systems that place patients inside a relatively enclosed tunnel, an Open MRI provides a more open scanning environment. This can be especially helpful for patients who feel uncomfortable in enclosed spaces.

At Broadway Imaging Center, our Open MRI is designed to provide detailed diagnostic images while creating a more comfortable experience for our patients.

What Does an Open MRI Scan Do?

 

MRI can provide detailed images of many different structures within the body, including soft tissues, organs, joints, and other anatomical structures.

Your physician may order an MRI to help evaluate symptoms, investigate an injury, monitor a known condition, or provide additional diagnostic information.

The specific area being scanned and the type of MRI examination will depend on your physician’s order and individual medical needs.

Some commonly ordered MRI examinations may include imaging of:

  • Brain and head
  • Spine
  • Neck
  • Shoulders
  • Knees
  • Hips
  • Extremities
  • Joints and soft tissues

The appropriate MRI examination will be determined by your referring healthcare provider.

 

What Happens During an Open MRI?

 

Before your MRI, our staff will review the examination process and provide instructions based on the type of scan you are having.

During the examination:

  1. You will be positioned comfortably on the MRI table.
  2. The body area being examined will be positioned appropriately for imaging.
  3. The table will move into the MRI system.
  4. The MRI will use magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images.
  5. You will need to remain as still as possible while the images are acquired.
  6. The technologist will monitor the examination and communicate with you throughout the process.

MRI examinations are generally painless. The length of your examination can vary depending on the body area being examined and the specific MRI protocol ordered by your physician.

 

Is Open MRI Good for Claustrophobic Patients?

 

An Open MRI may be a good option for patients who feel uncomfortable or anxious in traditional enclosed MRI scanners.

Because our Open MRI provides approximately 270° of open space, patients can have a more open visual environment during their examination.

If you have experienced claustrophobia during previous MRI exams, let our staff know when scheduling your appointment. Our team can explain the examination and help you understand what to expect.

 

Does an MRI Use Radiation?

No. MRI does not use ionizing radiation like an X-ray or CT scan.

MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce images of structures inside the body.

However, because MRI uses a powerful magnetic field, it is important to tell the imaging center about any implanted medical devices, metal objects, or other relevant medical information before your examination.

 

How to Prepare for an Open MRI

Preparing for your MRI appointment can help make the process easier and more comfortable. Preparation instructions may vary depending on the type of MRI examination you are having.

Before your appointment, Broadway Imaging Center recommends reviewing our detailed procedure preparation instructions.

Important MRI Safety Information

MRI uses a powerful magnetic field. Before your examination, tell the MRI technologist if you have any implanted medical devices, metal fragments, surgical implants, or other devices that may be affected by an MRI.

Our staff will review the necessary safety information before your examination.

 

What Should I Bring to My MRI Appointment?

Depending on your examination and insurance requirements, you may need to bring:

  • A valid photo ID
  • Insurance information
  • Your physician’s MRI order or referral, if required
  • Previous imaging records or reports, if requested
  • Any relevant medical information
