Depending on the area of your body being scanned, your examination could last anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. Our technicians can tell you how long your scan should take. Our technician may wrap a special belt around the area to be scanned and provide a special head rest. Your Open MRI scan will not start until our technician makes sure you are comfortably positioned. You will be able to communicate with our technician throughout the scan. You can even watch a movie while your MRI scan is taking place, using our medical visors and glasses.
During your Open MRI scan you will not feel anything. The scanner will emit some lite rumbling noises, but it is much quieter than a traditional Closed MRI scanner. While the scan is in process you will have to remain as still as possible. Any movement of the area being scanned may blur the images received by the MRI scanner. The stiller you are, the clearer your results will be.
