The MRI system we use was designed with patient comfort in mind. It's a quiet scanner with the largest opening available on a high field style magnet. It is also considered a short bore MRI, so less of the patient’s body has to be inside the magnet. This gives us the added ability to accommodate large and claustrophobic patients who can not be scanned in other systems. The weight limit with our scanner is 440 lbs.
