Can I be Sedated for an Mri if I am Claustrophobic?

Yes, we provide sedation support by request to ensure you are as comfortable as possible during your scan. If you experience claustrophobia, this can be arranged with a physician’s order to help you relax for the duration of the procedure.

Beyond sedation, we offer several specialized options designed specifically to reduce anxiety and eliminate the feeling of confinement, including:

• Open MRI: This design fully eliminates the enclosed tunnel, allowing you to lie between two flat magnets with an unobstructed view to either side.
• Wide-Bore MRI: These scanners feature a much larger opening and more interior space than traditional machines, providing extra room while maintaining high-field image quality.
• Patient Comfort Features: During your scan, you can choose your own music, adjust the lighting, and even have a companion present to stay close to you.

We prioritize your peace of mind with Same-Day & Next-Day Appointments and a rapid 24 – 48 Hour Report Turnaround. Whether you are at our facilities in Arizona or Texas, our team uses these calming techniques to ensure your health and clarity are our priority.

Results may vary based on individual patient conditions. Please consult with a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment advice.
