MRI's are an excellent tool for diagnosing innumerable pathologies in the human body. But not everybody has a pleasant experience inside an MRI machine. The conventional MRI machine is compact and congested and thus comes with a few repercussions. Imagine the plight of extremely obese people - to first lie on the narrow bed and then to fit in the machine. This is where the open MRI comes into play. 

What is the High Field Open MRI?

Open MRI's were introduced some time back. Their magnetic power being compromised, they yielded low-quality images as compared to the conventional closed MRI's. Now we have the High field open MRI's with cumulative advantages of both open and closed MRI's. These are huge and sophisticated MRI scanners usually available at the best of the radiology centers. You can enjoy the trouble-free and comfortable experience of a High Field Open MRI at the Radiology Center at Harding in Morristown, New Jersey, assisted and comprehended by skilled technicians. The radiologists and friendly staff here will be there by your side to ensure maximum comfort and relaxation. The total time for imaging rounds off to about 30 to 60 minutes and is completely painless. 

Advantages of a High Field Open MRI 

The robust capabilities of this machine offer great diagnostic performance:

• They are the most comfortable scanners for you to lie and relax while you are being diagnosed. 
• Great for claustrophobic patients as they get to see a wide 270-degree view of the scanning room and not be caught in a tiny space for over half an hour.
• It has no problem in accommodating bariatric people, who do not tend to fit in conventional MRI scanners.
• These are also great for people with normally large bodies - for example, broad shoulders.
• Best of all, a family member is allowed to accompany the patient inside the examination room. 
• This comfortable and relaxed environment leads to the completion of studies in a less amount of time. 
• The high field of 1.2 Tesla makes it possible for the acquisition of high-quality images - this is great for both doctors and patients.
• In general, blood vessels are not clear in conventional MRI scans, and special contrast dyes are injected beforehand to highlight them in the MRI image. These contrast dyes are excreted through the body via urine. So in patients suffering from impaired renal function, these dyes can cause serious toxicity. The technology of most of these High Field Open MRI scanners additionally makes it possible to get a clear picture of the vasculature without the use of contrasts. Thus it is a wonderful alternative for people with a compromised renal function who come for images of the vascular system. 

Not only are these super-scanners a boon to claustrophobic people around the world, but people, in general, are ready to pay a little extra than the usual for this comfortable and hassle-free experience. High Field Open MRI's have emerged as a very beneficial innovation in the field of radiology.
