Located within the BMI The Ridgeway Hospital in Swindon, UME Diagnostics have operated an Open MRI service here since 1999. A new Hitachi Airis Elite Open scanner was installed at the centre in January 2009. The BMI Ridgeway Hospital is situated in Wroughton, 10 minutes from junction 16 of the M4, free and plentiful patient parking is available.

Open MRI has no tunnel and so can accommodate larger patients or those with claustrophobia. It is also excellent for sports injuries because the joints being examined can be scanned in any required position – joint motion studies are not possible in tunnel type machines. This MRI is also the technology of choice for the identification and diagnosis of a wide range of head injuries and neurological disorders where easy access to patients during the scanning procedure is an advantage.
