Traditional machine, which is used in the MRI
study is a large cylindrical tube, which is surrounded by a circular magnet.
You will lie on a moving plane, which will slide to the center of the magnet.
Some MRI devices, so-called short-bore systems,
are designed so that the magnet does not completely surround you, some devices
are open on the sides. Such devices are very much in demand by patients who are
afraid of enclosed spaces or for those who suffer from obesity. Newer types of
devices for the MRI images provide high-quality research. Open MRI scanner with
older magnets may not provide the same level of quality.
Some types of research can not be done using an
open MRI scanner. For more information, you should consult with your doctor.
Host computer, which processes the information
received from the pictures, is in a separate room from the scanner.
