Open MRI
With the open MRI that has been put into operation in our center, our patients with claustrophobia can now have their images taken in a comfortable and noiseless manner.
In today’s world, where significant progress has been made in the methods of diagnosing and treating diseases, diseases can now be detected without the patient feeling any pain or ache, and with minimal side effects, via radio waves. MRI, which is considered one of these, is among the devices preferred by medical centers because it uses radio waves. Open MRI systems take this imaging technology one step further, and the problems of patients who have problems with having an MRI due to various problems are thus solved.
In open MRI systems, the examination is carried out in an open, wider, more spacious and less noisy environment. In cases with claustrophobia or high anxiety levels, in patients with shortness of breath who cannot lie flat or without raising their heads, in children (pediatric) cases who have difficulty in cooperation, open MRI offers a comfortable environment.
So who should prefer Open MRI?
For people with asthma, heart disease, and hypertension, having an MRI scan in an open area is more relaxing. Apart from this, people who are over a certain weight are directed to an OPEN MRI scan by specialist doctors because they experience serious problems with the closed MRI device. In the open MRI method, the patient’s head remains completely outside.
The biggest problem of the patient in closed MRI examinations was that this examination was performed in a closed area like a tunnel. In Open System MRI, the patient’s four sides are completely open. This provides a great advantage for people with claustrophobia, those with shortness of breath, those with weight problems, especially children and elderly patients. The patient is examined in a comfortable and wide area. The patient’s relative can also stay with the patient during the examination.
