This is wonderful for those who have a fear of enclosed places. I’ve had many MRI’s in the past years and no matter how much I know what is like I always get a bit of anxiety the first few minutes I’m in.
God if only I had just a bit of anxiety... Mines a total panic.... I couldnt do it I felt awful
Just had my first one today, in Thailand. Using the exact same equipment. Anyone who is worried. You have nothing at all to fear. Depending. On your test circumstances. You are in and out in five minutes. The biggest problem is changing into medical clothing. And! The machine is pretty darn cool! Talks to you and everything :) A marvel of modern technology. Worst case. You may need a deep scan. Which involves a I.V of contrast agent. Normally. Gadolinium.
Not a big deal. As you will probably have blood taken before hand. ( under these test circumstances) Eg. Intestinal, Colon ect. The I.V catheter will remain in place for ease of introduction of the agent. My personal reaction to Gadolinium. Was just a hot flush feeling for 40 seconds. No Pain at all. In honesty. The room was so darn cold. It was nice to feel warm again.
Since this is the first comment. I wish you all. The best. And please trust me. You need not fear anything from the open MRI.
Hi Catherine, we can accept NHS referrals from patients who are claustrophobic or obese. You can also request a referral for the open MRI scanner as a private patient, and the cost depends on the area(s) of the body being scanned.

Where in Thailand did you get an open MRI?
Craig Elliott I had mine done and I get to watch a movie cause of my seizures and I picked out Chicago fire and I hate the noice and it is like extremely hot in there I stayed in there for 1hour have a wonderful day
Gadolinum can be dangerous, beware!
I lasted 3 sec as others and had explained before my mri that I suffer with extreme anxiety and claustrophobia I had a very bad anxiety attack the tech was so rude I would think they would understand your putting a cage over my head locking it then putting me in a tunnel I’m now going to try the open one wish me luck 🥴
Available in Singapore & many other Asian countries.
BRUH!! I HAVE TO GET ONE NEXT WEEK --ITS STILL LOOKS LIKE ITS TO CLOSE TO MY FACE-- NO WA IN HELL CAN I DO IT.
I wished my place have this. I went for MRI today. Less than 10 seconds inside the tunnel I asked to be removed. Very tramautic for me. Have headache, sweating and nausea after the experience. The procedure was to last for 30 minutes!
i stayed inside 3 sec … i thought i will suffocate and my heart stopped…

@@mirjana6331 ok. Thank you. I will try that.
Y en Bogotá - Colombia donde la encontraré ? Soy claustrofobica y la necesito urgente.
Is a ct scan an option instead
From what I've been told, a CT Scan is not the same as an MRI. I've had a CT Scan on the same shoulder that I'm scheduled to do the MRI on Sunday afternoon. The MRI shows more detail than the CT scan plus it doesn't give off any radiation.
Open MRI wall more comfortable is not as accurate and precise as the closed MRI for surgery patients.
