Open MRI
Introducing our new Siemens Magnetom Verio Open Bore 3T MRI, the only one of its kind in Texas.
Our new Magnetom Verio 3T MRI allows for more precise diagnosis, better pre-surgical planning and enhanced patient care. Its 70-cm open bore and 550-pound weight limit provides more space and comfort than traditional MRIs. Patient comfort is a hallmark of our Open MRI. Instead of the traditional cylindrical-shaped tube, the open MRI is open on all sides, eliminating claustrophobic effects.
The Verio 3T MRI also uses a contrast-free technique, optimized for imaging the kidneys — a distinct benefit for patients with renal failure.
The Verio 3T MRI has twice the field strength of a conventional magnet, capturing exceptional image quality in faster scan times with reduced repositioning, and higher image resolution with increased clarity and detail. With its larger size, the Verio 3T MRI can meet the special needs of patients who are:- Obese
- Pediatric
- Claustrophobic
- Elderly
- Anxious
The Magnetom Verio Open Bore 3T MRI is available at the following Memorial Hermann Imaging Centers:Richmond Ave. Our other Open MRI services include the Magnetom Espree Open Bore 1.5T and the Philips Panorama 1.0T MRI.
