Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Open MRI provides an alternative to standard MRI for claustrophobic patients who cannot tolerate the enclosed space of the traditional MRI, pediatric patients who may find it difficult to remain still during the procedure, and obese patients who may not fit into the standard MRI machine. However, being pregnant or renally impaired does not necessarily require the use of open MRI, and the decision on appropriate testing should be made by the patient's healthcare provider.
