Patient Comfort During MRI
Our MRI system features a 70 cm wide-bore design, providing a more spacious environment than conventional MRI scanners. Combined with dedicated ambient lighting, the wider opening helps reduce the sensation of being enclosed and may improve comfort for patients who experience anxiety or claustrophobia during MRI examinations.
The system also incorporates Quiet Suite technology, which helps reduce acoustic noise during many MRI sequences, contributing to a more comfortable imaging experience.
For many examinations, a significant portion of the scan can be performed with the patient's head remaining outside the scanner bore, whenever clinically feasible. Throughout the examination, patients can communicate with the MRI technologist through a two-way intercom system.
The wide-bore design also accommodates patients weighing up to 200 kg, subject to the clinical requirements and positioning limitations of the examination.
MRI Examination Process
Before the scan, patients are asked to change into an examination gown and remove all metallic objects, including watches, jewelry, earrings, rings, and other accessories.
The patient then lies comfortably on the MRI table, while positioning aids are used to help maintain the correct posture throughout the examination.
Patients wear headphones or ear protection to reduce scanner noise and facilitate communication with the MRI technologist, who provides instructions during the procedure.
An emergency call button is also provided, allowing patients to alert the MRI team immediately if they experience discomfort or require assistance.
Once the patient is properly positioned, the examination table moves into the MRI scanner, and image acquisition begins. The duration of the examination varies depending on the body region being evaluated and the imaging protocol prescribed by the physician.
