MH Imaging Open MRI Services

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique that uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the body’s internal structures. MRI services are used to diagnose a wide variety of conditions, including

  • Brain and spine: MRI is often used to diagnose brain tumors, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries.
  • Musculoskeletal system: MRI is a valuable tool for diagnosing injuries to the bones, joints, and muscles.
  • Abdomen and pelvis: MRI can be used to diagnose cancer, liver disease, and other conditions of the abdomen and pelvis.
  • Breasts: Bilateral Breast MRI is used to screen for breast cancer and to diagnose and stage breast cancer.
  • Full-body MRI: an imaging procedure that scans the entire body from head to toe for early detection of abnormalities or disease, and evaluating overall health.
  • MRA imaging: (Magnetic Resonance Angiography) is used to image blood vessels to evaluate conditions like aneurysms, blockages, or other vascular abnormalities.
  • Open MRI: We offer 1.2T Open MRI configuration for claustrophobic patients.
  • Prostate MRI: Provides a detailed view of the prostate gland and surrounding tissues to evaluate for cancer, inflammation, or other abnormalities.
  • Orbit MRI: Specialized imaging of the eye sockets, optic nerves, and surrounding structures to assess tumors, infection, inflammatory conditions such as optic neuritis, and trauma with remarkable clarity.

What is an MRI?

A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a test done to see organs and other structures in the body. It uses magnetic fields and radio wave pulses to create images of the body. The MRI machine varies in shape configuration depending on use of a closed or open design. There is little preparation needed when getting an MRI. Unless instructed otherwise, a patient can eat normally and take his/her medications (if any are taken) before an MRI exam.

Why Choose MH Imaging?

At MH Imaging, we pride ourselves on getting to know our patients, and offering the best possible care at an affordable price. We offer same-day or next-day scheduling when available, and fast turnaround on reports so you can continue to the next step in your care. Our MRI costs are substantially less than hospital rates and we accept most insurances, including Medicare and Medicaid, with competitive cash options. Our dedicated, registered, and certified technologists are highly trained, ensuring you receive expert care every step of the way.

How it works

During the exam, a technologist monitors a patient’s body images from another room while he/she lies on the table within the MRI machine. The procedure takes about 15-45 minutes depending on the type of MRI you are having. It is important to lie very still during the scanning process since any movement can blur the images. It is common to hear repetitive and loud noises during the screening so earplugs or headphones are provided to reduce noise during the procedure. Once the test is completed, a patient can resume normal activities.

Payment Options

We accept most insurances, including Medicare and Medicaid, and offer competitive cash options.

MRI costs are typically around $650—substantially less than hospital rates—so you can rest assured you are receiving high-quality care without unnecessary financial burden.

We offer several MRI configurations so patients and providers can choose the scanner that best matches comfort, anatomy, and diagnostic requirements.

Our standard 1.5 Tesla MRI is the primary system used for most exams and is appropriate for roughly 80% of MRI needs. It delivers excellent image quality for brain, spine, joints, abdomen, pelvis, breast, and vascular imaging while balancing scan time, detail, and implant compatibility.

Our 3T MRI provides higher field strength and approximately double the resolution compared to standard 1.5T, giving exceptionally detailed images for complex neurological, musculoskeletal, and surgical planning cases. This system also uses advanced metal artifact reduction and suppression techniques to minimize distortion around many implants, improving visualization when metal hardware might otherwise obscure anatomy.

Open MRI: We offer a 1.2T Open MRI configuration for claustrophobic patients. The open design provides significantly more space around you than a traditional tunnel, making it ideal for patients who are anxious in closed scanners, have larger body types, or require easier access and positioning. Because it is a high-field open system, you benefit from both comfort and strong diagnostic image quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

No special preparation is required but we will need to know if you have any implants, tattoos, or other conditions that might be affected by a magnetic field. You may be asked to change into a gown and remove any metal objects.

MRI scans are painless. Although lying still for an extended period can be uncomfortable for some patients, the team at MH Imaging works to support your comfort throughout the exam.

30 min is the average duration as some are 12, 45 or 60. Many variables come into play depending on if an extra sequence is made.

While MRI is safe for most individuals, pregnant women and people with certain types of implants, such as pacemakers or cochlear implants, may not be eligible. Always inform your healthcare provider and our team of any medical conditions or implants.

MRI with contrast involves injecting a dye into a vein; this dye makes certain tissues and blood vessels more visible, enhancing the detail of the images. MRI without contrast does not use any dye and is appropriate for many routine studies.

MRI is generally considered very safe, and there are no known side effects from the magnetic fields and radio waves used in standard scanning. A small risk is associated with contrast dye, such as allergic reactions, which are monitored and managed by medical staff when contrast is needed.

The primary difference between an open MRI and a standard MRI lies in the design of the machines. A standard MRI features a long, narrow tube the patient lies in, while an open MRI is designed without sides, offering a more open space around the patient, which benefits individuals who experience claustrophobia or need more room; open systems can have different magnet strengths and image characteristics depending on the technology used.
