Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Closed MRI, and how does it work?

A Closed MRI is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to generate detailed images of the body’s internal structures. During a Closed MRI scan, the patient lies on a table that slides into a cylindrical machine with a tunnel-like opening. The machine contains a magnet and radiofrequency coils that emit signals and receive signals from the body, which are processed by a computer to create cross-sectional images. Closed MRI scans are especially useful for visualizing soft tissues, organs, and musculoskeletal structures with excellent clarity and detail.

Who is a good candidate for a Closed MRI?

A Closed MRI may be recommended for individuals who require diagnostic imaging to evaluate a wide range of medical conditions, including:

Neurological disorders: Brain tumors, strokes, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injuries
Orthopedic injuries: Joint injuries, ligament tears, fractures, or degenerative joint diseases
Abdominal or pelvic conditions: Organ abnormalities, tumors, cysts, or gastrointestinal disorders
Cardiovascular conditions: Heart defects, vascular malformations, or atherosclerosis
Oncological conditions: Cancer staging, tumor surveillance, or treatment response assessment

A physician will determine if a Closed MRI is appropriate based on the patient’s medical history, symptoms, and diagnostic needs.

What should patients expect during a Closed MRI scan?

During a Closed MRI scan, patients can expect:

Preparation: Patients may be asked to remove metallic objects such as jewelry, watches, or clothing with metal zippers or snaps before the scan to prevent interference with the magnetic field.
Comfortable positioning: Patients will lie on a padded table that slides into the MRI machine, with the body part of interest positioned within the machine’s opening.
Immobility: Patients will need to remain still during the scan to avoid blurring of images. Some scans may require breath-holding or minor adjustments in position.
Minimal discomfort: Closed MRI scans are painless and do not involve radiation exposure. Patients may hear loud tapping or knocking noises during the scan, which is normal and caused by the MRI machine’s magnets.
Duration: The duration of a Closed MRI scan varies depending on the body part being imaged and the complexity of the study, but most scans typically last between 15 to 60 minutes.

What are the benefits of Closed MRI services?

The benefits of Closed MRI services include:

High-quality imaging: Closed MRI technology produces detailed images with superior clarity, allowing for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Non-invasive: Closed MRI scans are non-invasive and do not involve radiation exposure, making them safe for patients of all ages.
Versatility: Closed MRI scans can visualize a wide range of anatomical structures and medical conditions, making them valuable diagnostic tools in various specialties.
Patient comfort: Despite the confined space of the MRI machine, Closed MRI scans offer a comfortable and patient-friendly imaging experience.
