Should I Have an Open MRI or Regular MRI?
Because of the shape of an open MRI, it is unable to take images of certain areas, as the strength of an open MRI is less than that of a closed or wide bore MRI. Discussing with a technician to better understand if the area you need an MRI of can be done in an open MRI is a great place to start. While closed bore MRIs can take better images, open MRIs can provide comfort during the process for those who need it.
