We offer several specialized options to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience for patients with severe claustrophobia. Our approach combines advanced technology with a patient-centered environment to eliminate the anxiety often associated with traditional scanners.
Our primary imaging options include:
- Open MRI: This design fully eliminates the enclosed tunnel, allowing you to lie between two large, flat magnets with an unobstructed view to either side. It is specifically designed to remove the feeling of confinement.
- Wide-Bore MRI: These scanners feature a significantly larger tunnel opening than traditional machines, providing extra interior space and a quieter environment while maintaining high-field image quality.
To further support your comfort, we provide:
- Sedation Support: Available by request with a physician’s order for added relaxation during the scan.
- Comfort Amenities: You may choose your own music, adjust the lighting, and even have a companion present during the procedure.
- Concierge Care: Our team uses calming techniques, and we offer multilingual staff and transportation assistance to ensure a seamless visit.
We provide Same-Day & Next-Day Appointments across our locations in Arizona and Texas to help you get the answers you need quickly. As Your Trusted Radiology Partner, we also ensure a rapid 24 – 48 Hour Report Turnaround so you can move forward with confidence.
Please consult with a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment advice. Results may vary based on individual patient conditions.
