Short Bore MRI

MRI systems involve containing patients in a tight space while the necessary imaging takes place. Does this sound like a recipe for disaster for some patients? It certainly can be. It's estimated that up to 30 percent of all adults are subject to claustrophobia and anxiety when placed in these constricting circumstances.

Fortunately, there are ways to address this issue that enable all patients to get the care they need. One approach involves the use of open MRI systems, but these systems bring with them a couple of compromises. Scan times can be much longer. Additionally, the image resolution offered by these systems can be less than optimal when certain parts of the body (most notably, the brain) are being scrutinized.

Affordable Short Bore MRI Systems

Short bore MRI systems offer a comfortable solution. Short bore systems are 50 percent shorter and 5 percent wider than conventional MRI setups. These altered dimensions make for a much less claustrophobic experience for patients. Scanning time is the same as with conventional MRIs. Best of all, short bore MRIs offer first-rate image quality with superior resolution.
