New MRIs provide patients with claustrophobia or size constraints a high-quality imaging option!

Patients who find conventional closed MRIs difficult to tolerate no longer have to sacrifice the quality of their images! Advanced Radiology now offers High-Field, Wide-Bore MRI, which is ideal for larger individuals or those with claustrophobia. At 1.5 Tesla, the new MRI offers the power of high-strength magnets, while offering a wide entry point that is also short, so that patients who tend to become claustrophobic or who may not fit comfortably in a traditional MRI unit can be accommodated. The unit allows patients both more room and a more spacious field of view.

This new technology is NOW available at Crain Towers Imaging Center in Glen Burnie, as well as Fisher Medical Building in Westminster.

Advanced Radiology MRI Patient Comfort

Benefits of 1.5T High-Field Wide-Bore MRI include:

  • 70 cm bore diameter provides 10” more anterior space compared to traditional open MRIs.
  • Short 45” bore length is half the size of a standard MRI. With only 22.5” to the center of the magnet, the patient’s head can remain outside the machine while performing mid-body exams.
  • Most studies can be performed feet first, offering patients an unobstructed view and a more comfortable imaging experience.
  • Wide bore design accommodates larger individuals and those prone to claustrophobia (max. 500 lbs).
  • 1.5T high-field strength delivers faster scan times and exquisite image quality.
  • Ability to perform non-contrast enhanced Renal MR angiography (MRA) for patients with poor kidney function or on dialysis.
