Some patients feel high levels of anxiety when subjected to the confining space of tube-type MRI’s. Our OPEN MRI has an unobstructed view from three sides, allowing you to see and talk to our technologist during your exam. Our “open” scanner provides for a higher level of comfort over conventional, “tube shaped” MRI machines.
