Built for Patients Who Have
Been Avoiding the Closed Tube.
The open MRI at OSMC is the region's only high-field open MRI with the widest patient opening in the industry. Designed specifically for patients who experience anxiety or claustrophobia with traditional closed MRI scanners.
Open Architecture for Comfort and Calm
The wide open design provides a significantly less enclosed experience than a traditional MRI tunnel. Same diagnostic quality. Far less anxiety for patients who have been putting off imaging because of the closed machine.
Imaging and Your Physician Under One Roof
Your MRI results go directly to your OSMC physician in the same building. No driving across town to a separate imaging center. No waiting days for results to be faxed over. The circle of care stays intact.
MSK Radiologist Review on Every Study
Every MRI is reviewed by a musculoskeletal radiologist before results are returned to your physician. You are not getting a general read. You are getting a specialist's eyes on your specific study.
Cash Pay Available With No Prior Authorization
For patients whose insurance has been the thing slowing everything down, the cash pay option requires only a physician order. No payer approval. No weeks-long authorization process. Pay at the time of service and get imaging this week.
ACR Gold Standard Accreditation
