How Open MRI Machines Help Patients with Claustrophobia?

"This article investigates how open MRI machines at Encino Open MRI help patients with claustrophobia by offering a comfortable open design and supportive care, so ensuring a stress free diagnosis."

At Encino Open MRI, we are aware that for many individuals claustrophobia in MRI can cause the experience to be intolerable. Many times, the anxiety of limited environments keeps people from receiving the necessary diagnostic treatment. We are therefore here to assist. Those who suffer with claustrophobia and MRI-related anxiety should find a pleasant, stress-free experience on our open MRI equipment.

Why Does Open MRI Differentiate?

Conventional MRI machines have a limited tunnel like shape that can cause confinement related sensations. For those suffering with MRI anxiety and claustrophobia this can feel intolerable. Conversely, open MRI systems have a more roomy layout. Their open-sided architecture lets patients view their environment and feel more in control, therefore removing the imprisoned sensation.

We have noticed personally how its design calms patients during their scans. Open MRI equipment greatly lessens the anxiety by helping one feel less imprisoned.
