Imaging studies always require a good balance between patient comfort and efficacy of the imaging work.
For many years, the only option on the MRI market was a small bore (opening) machine, essentially a tube that patients lie inside. The main problem with these is claustrophobia among patients. For larger patients, it can be very daunting to lie inside a tight metal tube for the exam.
Wide bore MRI machines is a version of the traditional, closed machine, but with a wider bore that is more comfortable for many claustrophobic or larger patients.
Physicians Regional Healthcare System has two wide bore MRI machines. One is located at our Collier Blvd Campus and the other at our Pine Ridge campus.
Why get an MRI at Physicians Regional?
Physicians Regional has recently installed a new MRI machine at our Collier Blvd location. This machine is the first 1.5T MRI system with BioMatrix Technology. This technology automatically adjusts to each patient, allowing for fewer scans and consistent high quality personalized images with a potential total exam time reduction by up to 30-50%.
Both our MRI machines are designed to accommodate different size patients, which allows our patients to have a comfortable experience. The wide bore designs reduce anxiety and claustrophobia while producing quick and clear imaging. With these machines, our clinicians have greater diagnostic confidence and better coordination of care.
