What Is an Open MRI?
An open MRI is a medical imaging scan that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of your body. Unlike traditional closed MRI machines, which have a tunnel-like structure, an open MRI has open sides, allowing more airflow, visibility, and space. This design reduces anxiety and makes the experience much more tolerable for many patients.
Open MRI vs. Closed MRI: What’s the Difference?
The main difference between an open and closed MRI is the structure of the machine. A closed MRI is a narrow tube, while an open MRI like the Fuji Oasis Velocity has a spacious open design on all sides.
This makes a big difference for patients who:
- Struggle with claustrophobia
- Have broad shoulders or larger body types
- Have conditions that make it difficult to lie still in a tight space
- Our open MRI is specifically designed to be less claustrophobic and more accommodating, without sacrificing image quality.
Are open MRIs as good as closed MRIs?
Yes — especially with the Fuji Oasis Velocity. Thanks to its advanced imaging technology, patients can enjoy high-resolution images in a comfortable setting.
