 You need an MRI but you are anxious or clastrophobic or may be a little large than normal and haven’t been able to fit in the bore. This used to be a problem. Not anymore! At Regional Radiology we offer a high field open MRI with an open bore design. Not all open MRI’s offer the same technology. With the older open designs there was a trade off in image quality and speed. Most open machines do not offer a high magnetic field. The strength of the magnetic field determines the quality of the pictures. At Regional Radiology our new open bore Espree offers a 1.5 tesla magnetic field with the advantage of an open design. This makes it appropriate for people who suffer with clastrophobia, for children and the elderly who may need some hand holding and for the obese patient. The new design is faster and quieter than the older design making it more patient friendly with no trade off in image quality.
 For most all exams your feet go in first and your head remains outside of the bore. You will constantly see the examination room and be able to communicate whenever you wish throughout the short scan time.
