You Now Have a New Choice in Open MRI
The new UPMC Chautauqua Open Bore MRI is designed to accommodate all size patients and eliminates anxiety and claustrophobia. For many exams, the patient’s feet go in first and the patient’s head remains outside of the system. This has never been possible before in Open MRI. But more important, the new Open Bore MRI is three times more powerful, giving physicians the most confident diagnosis.
Advantages of Open Bore MRI:
- Comfort from every angle: Feet first and head out, eliminating anxiety and claustrophobia.
