UME Diagnostics presents the latest technology High Resolution 0.35T Open MRI, offering a variety of specialty focused services for detailed studies and accurate diagnostic reading. The advanced coil technology of this MRI system, delivers high definition images of, but not limited to, the chest, abdomen, pelvis, the central nervous system and 3D musculoskeletal imaging. This large open scanner has a fast scanning time (shorter scanning time than conventional open MRI’s) and fast post processing data acquisition. This wide open system is particularly suited for claustrophobic, paediatric and obese patients. The basic technology of an open MRI machine is similar to that of a closed-bore MRI. The major difference for the patient is that instead of lying in a narrow tunnel, the imaging table has more space around the body so that the magnet does not completely surround the person being tested, alleviating any feelings of claustrophobia.
