The future of magnetic imaging for bone, joint and cartilage in the heart of Lincolnshire
What is Open MRI?
MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging which is a way of taking pictures inside the body without using x-rays, not emitting ionising radiation.
​
Open MRI is suitable for certain parts of your body, including bones, soft tissues and the brain, using one of the most advanced imaging techniques to date to carry put investigative and diagnostic imaging. MRI uses a very strong magnetic field which allows doctors to see inside your body in a way previously only possible through surgery. This allows greater clarity and understanding of what is going on inside the body that may be causing problematic symptoms like knee pain, hip pain or other musculoskeletal issues.
​
Open MRI delivers the same level of accuracy as a traditional MRI scanner; however, all four sides of the scanner are open, therefore reducing the risk of claustrophobia and panic attacks that many patients report with traditional MRI scanners.
