Medserena Upright MRI Centres

Our truly open upright MRI Systems offer the unique possibility of scanning patients upright from hea Such MRI scanners scan patients lying down.

MRI imaging has long been used as a way to image and assess the spine for pathology. Upright Positional MRI is a new concept providing real benefits to patients:
• Weight-bearing and variable patient positioning enables a more precise diagnosis
• Truly open system enhances patient comfort for an anxiety-free examination
Our Upright Positional MRI System offers the unique possibility of scanning patients in an upright or weight-bearing position versus the conventional MRI supine position. The patient can be examined in varying degrees of flexion or extension, rotating, or bending laterally - to the position where they experience most pain. Conventional supine only scans cannot detect certain pathology that becomes visible only when the patient is in an upright or weight-bearing position: this is especially the case with conditions affecting the spine. This truly open MRI system also has appeal to those who are unable to undertake conventional MRI due to claustrophobia or obesity - or who are unable to lie down due to certain heath conditions. It can be used for any weight-bearing joints-kness, hips. It is also a radiation free way to assess scoliosis.

Our Story

This truly open MRI system has high acceptance to those who are unable to undertake conventional MRI due to claustrophobia or obesity - or who are unable to lie down due to certain heath conditions. Our Open Upright MRI System also offers the unique possibility of scanning patients in an upright or weight-bearing position versus the conventional MRI supine position. The patient can be examined in varying degrees of flexion or extension, rotating, or bending laterally - to the position where they experience most pain. Conventional MRI images patients lying down, in a closed tunnel scanner. Conventional supine only scans cannot detect certain pathology that becomes visible only when the patient is in an upright or weight-bearing position: this is especially the case with conditions affecting the spine. It can be used for any weight-bearing joints-knees, hips, especially in the investigation of sports injuries.
