1.280,00 د.إ
An Open MRI Scan (Without Contrast) is a non-invasive imaging procedure that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed internal body images without the need for contrast dye. Its key features include an open design, making it ideal for claustrophobic or anxious patients, and high-resolution imaging for accurate diagnosis.
Description
Open MRI Scan (Without Contrast) – Comfortable, Accurate, and Stress-Free Imaging
Experience a cutting-edge Open MRI Scan (Without Contrast) — a safe, painless, and highly effective diagnostic imaging solution designed for maximum comfort and precision. Unlike traditional closed MRI machines, our open MRI technology provides a spacious, non-restrictive environment, making it an ideal choice for individuals who experience claustrophobia or anxiety in enclosed spaces.
Using powerful magnetic fields and radio waves — not ionizing radiation — this advanced scan delivers high-resolution images of soft tissues, joints, the brain, spine, and internal organs, helping physicians detect injuries, neurological conditions, arthritis, and more.
Why You Need This Test
An Open MRI Scan is essential if you:
- Are experiencing unexplained pain, numbness, or mobility issues
- Need detailed imaging of the brain, spine, joints, or soft tissues
- Have a history of trauma or sports injury
- Suffer from neurological symptoms (e.g., headaches, dizziness, weakness)
- Are claustrophobic or anxious about traditional MRI machines
- Require frequent monitoring for conditions like multiple sclerosis or disc herniation
This scan provides critical insights without the stress, ensuring you get the accurate diagnosis you need — comfortably and safely.
Symptoms That Indicate This Test
Consider scheduling an Open MRI Scan if you experience:
- Persistent back, neck, or joint pain
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in arms or legs
- Headaches, dizziness, or vision changes
- Balance or coordination problems
- Signs of arthritis or soft tissue injuries
- Post-surgical evaluation needs
- Unexplained muscle weakness or nerve compression
Early imaging leads to earlier diagnosis and faster treatment — reducing long-term complications.
