The Open Wide-Bore MRI and the Open High-Field MRI systems provide for a more comfortable experience for patients that experience claustrophobia, have pain or mobility issues, or are larger in size. They are also an ideal solution for children.
The Open Wide-Bore MRI system allows for many scans to be done with the patient’s head outside of the unit. The spacious interior provides ample headroom plus extra legroom and elbowroom, ideal for patients who are anxious in enclosed spaces or who have a larger body size. The Open Wide-Bore MRI is available at the MRI Group’s Norlanco (Elizabethtown), Suburban Pavilion, and Lime Street - Lancaster General Hospital locations.

The Open High-Field MRI system also provides an increased level of comfort for patients. It is able to accommodate claustrophobic patients, young children, patients with a larger body size, and those experiencing pain or other mobility issues. The Open High-Field MRI is located at the Kissel Hill location in Lititz.
