Open MRI difference
Quality images
At Utah Valley Imaging, we use only state-of-the-art imaging equipment. By using the finest equipment and technology, Utah Valley Imaging is able to provide the highest quality images. The Open MRI machine at Utah Valley Imaging provides images that are comparable to those produced by most closed systems and the high-field strength of this magnet provides image quality that significantly exceeds those produced by a typical low-field strength magnet. The open-MRI technology is capable of performing orthopedic, neurological, facial, neck, abdomen, pelvis and chest scans.
Open MRI Difference
The open-air design of Utah Valley Imaging’s MRI system provides a vastly improved MRI experience for patients whose size, anxieties or age make them less comfortable with traditional MRI machines.
With the most advanced imaging systems in the region, Utah Valley Imaging provides quality images, reports and timeliness that surpass traditional imaging alternatives.
Patient comfort
Many are hesitant to have an MRI because traditional tunnel-type MRI machines cause claustrophobia and anxiety. At Utah Valley Imaging, patients will experience a calm and comfortable environment during all examinations. Our magnet—with its open design—provides greater patient comfort during scanning and helps minimize the claustrophobic effect. The design also accommodates larger patients and even allows a parent to accompany a child and hold their hand during the child’s scan.
