Open MRI

Open MRI scanners have been developed for people who are anxious or obese or for examination of small parts of the body, such as the extremities (knee, shoulder). In addition, some systems offer imaging in different positions and sequences of movements. The basic technology of an open MRI machine is similar to that of a traditional MRI device. The major difference for the patient is that instead of lying in a narrow tunnel, the imaging table has more space around the body so that the magnet does not completely surround the person being tested.

Difficulties with a traditional MRI scan include claustrophobia and patient size or, for health related reasons, patients who are not able to receive this type of diagnostic test. The MRI unit is a limited space, and some patients may be too large to fit in a narrow tunnel. In addition, weight limits can restrict the use of some scanners. The open MRI magnet has become the best option for those patients.

Whatever system you are looking for, chances are we either have it in stock, or have one coming available soon. We offer a wide choice of pre-owned equipment for you to select from. We also refurbish systems at our staging facility. Each system is assessed for wear and tear and worn mechanical components are replaced. Replacement parts are always OEM supplied or approved.
