Open MRI for Every Body | Newcastle Clinic 

This is wonderful for those who have a fear of enclosed places. I’ve had many MRI’s in the past years and no matter how much I know what is like I always get a bit of anxiety the first few minutes I’m in.

Just had my first one today, in Thailand. Using the exact same equipment. Anyone who is worried. You have nothing at all to fear. Depending. On your test circumstances. You are in and out in five minutes. The biggest problem is changing into medical clothing. And! The machine is pretty darn cool! Talks to you and everything :) A marvel of modern technology. Worst case. You may need a deep scan. Which involves a I.V of contrast agent. Normally. Gadolinium. Not a big deal. As you will probably have blood taken before hand. ( under these test circumstances) Eg. Intestinal, Colon ect. The I.V catheter will remain in place for ease of introduction of the agent. My personal reaction to Gadolinium. Was just a hot flush feeling for 40 seconds. No Pain at all. In honesty. The room was so darn cold. It was nice to feel warm again. Since this is the first comment. I wish you all. The best. And please trust me. You need not fear anything from the open MRI.

I lasted 3 sec as others and had explained before my mri that I suffer with extreme anxiety and claustrophobia I had a very bad anxiety attack the tech was so rude I would think they would understand your putting a cage over my head locking it then putting me in a tunnel I’m now going to try the open one wish me luck 🥴

I wished my place have this. I went for MRI today. Less than 10 seconds inside the tunnel I asked to be removed. Very tramautic for me. Have headache, sweating and nausea after the experience. The procedure was to last for 30 minutes!

BRUH!! I HAVE TO GET ONE NEXT WEEK --ITS STILL LOOKS LIKE ITS TO CLOSE TO MY FACE-- NO WA IN HELL CAN I DO IT.

Available in Singapore & many other Asian countries.

Y en Bogotá - Colombia donde la encontraré ? Soy claustrofobica y la necesito urgente.

Is a ct scan an option instead

Open MRI wall more comfortable is not as accurate and precise as the closed MRI for surgery patients.
