What is Open MRI? Open MRI systems feature a double pillar design that maximizes patient access and visibility. This MRI scanner design offers magnet strength up to 0.8 Tesla. This MRI scanner design is open on 3 to 4 sides. View the full video at:

About Me:
Hi, my name is Larry. I created MRIPETCTSOURCE to bring clarity to the world of medical imaging and help patients feel informed and at ease before their diagnostic procedure.
The idea for this channel came after a late night working to repair an MRI system before morning appointments. As I was leaving, a patient in the waiting area asked me if the MRI procedure was safe. We talked for a few minutes, and I explained that I was the engineer who keeps the system running safely and that I had even been scanned to verify image quality before turning the system over for patient scanning.
I chatted with the patient until they were called in for their scan. During that time, I explained that the MRI magnet itself is completely safe for all properly screened patients, that nothing is felt during the scan, and that it does not cause any pain. I even shared that I actually enjoy getting MRI scans myself and almost fall asleep in there. That short conversation made me realize how much people value clear, trustworthy information about medical imaging from both the technical and patient sides. That moment helped me see how important it is to give patients simple, honest explanations about medical imaging that they can actually understand.
Since then, MRIPETCTSOURCE has become a place where patients, technologists, and healthcare professionals can learn, ask questions, and better understand how imaging systems work. I started working with MRI, CT, and PET systems as a field service engineer in 2008 and have witnessed the amazing progress in medical imaging safety and performance.

It’s the noise, the confinement and the duration. It’s not ok. Just knock my ass out
I go today and I know as soon as they put the cage on me, I am just going to leave.
Can I has phone , address ? Please ?
Can I has address and phone number ?
Thank you
If you’re scared or panicking about an MRI don’t forget about those people that been in an earthquake and been trapped for 8 to 10 days until they get rescued. If that doesn’t ease you then I don’t know what will.
Open mri
I have to have one through Corewell in Michigan with a coil and I have a Medtronics SureScan pacemaker. They no longer have open MRI machine and I can’t find one that does who will take me because of the pacemaker. I have extreme claustrophobia. I’m about ready to cancel my appointment.

The Worst crap Scary invention of human era
Any one want to learning MRI machine as operating and technique so contact with me for learning plaining for MRI anotomy rejoins
I had a MRI today, I'm claustrophobic know doubt. Today I was panicking before I went in, really didn't want to go. I had a open MRI machine which helped a lot also my Dr. Gave me Valium I made it through. With pray, the meds and the open MIR. The last time I had a panic attack, but made myself stay in. Its ashame all the things you have to do just get a MRI. I can't believe I did it, I gave a big hand to myself. 😅
Diese Schließchung. Der Kopf ist hilft nicht
I had an open mri and unfortunately had to get another ( after I pd $541) because the pics weren't clear enough. Be careful with these open MRI's.
Nope
They still cover your face i cant breathe because of it. Nice that its open but its still the same
This doesn’t look open mr why closing the face
open mri i like
I too freak out when I see that head coil thing it freaks me out.
I hate that helmet regardless not helpful
Me metieron a la maquina cerrada, entré en pánico, pegue a gritar y me fui.😢😢😢😢😢😢
Hope you get some sound examples of the open MRI scanner like I asked you to do!
How come the ones I have to do how come I can't be in these kind of machines it would definitely help reduce my anxiety
Do they give you medicine
How about the claustrophobic person?😊
I am a claustrophobic 😭
Tried once, couldnt do it. Sadly i have to do it with sedation
It's cool for people who have claustrophobia, but im over here like its gonna crush me
Is it loud too?
I had mri yesterday i was so nervous i stil cant belive 🎉🎉🎉i completely mri scan well done me😂
I had an Open MRI. It was still a nightmare. They lock the doors when in the you go
I had an Open MRI. It was still a nightmare. They lock the doors when in the you go
is the sound also terribly loud?
3 tesla mri
I couldn't do it without being completely out with anesthesia.
We just got the new recon DL on the GE artist. These open magnets are shit compared to what I have at my facility. Also the new GE system scan 3x faster than these open butt hole machines. Those open machines should be illegal. Fucking terrible patient care to put a patient through them.
I understand for a closed MRI you have a round magnet but i would like to understand the design for an open MRI,is the magnet on both side ?
I had this for brain scan.
Thank god because phobia I use to get so scared
I got the same one today ….I was scared first I went under closed mri machine that was very scary
Pune available
In Pune where is it available
I wish someone would ask if it spins the patient instead. Sorry. I’m irreverent. Btw. Beauty machine.
My problem is I freak out as soon as the cage goes on my head.
Can u do mri of heart in there
I think open MRI, at certain hospitals. Then you’ve to see, if you’re health insurance covers it. Be nice, to do open MRI test done. To see the difference.
