MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), an important diagnostic tool that provides detailed images of the inside of the body, is instrumental in diagnosing a wide range of medical conditions. For some patients, the very thought of undergoing an MRI can induce anxiety, especially if they are claustrophobic. At Eastern Diagnostics, we are aware of these concerns and are proud to offer a solution—standing MRI. Let us discuss how standing MRI helps to alleviate anxiety, specifically the issue of claustrophobia.
Understanding MRI Anxiety
MRI anxiety, faced by many patients, can be triggered by various factors including the confined space inside a traditional MRI machine. Claustrophobia, the fear of enclosed space, contributes to this anxiety. Claustrophobic patients experience panic attacks when they are placed in the traditional machine, rendering the procedure incomplete and inaccurate.
Benefits of Standing MRI
Standing MRI, offered by Eastern Diagnostics, is a revolutionary alternative to the enclosed MRI machine. This innovative imaging technology allows patients to remain upright and experience a more open and less restrictive environment.
There are several key benefits that standing MRI offers:
Reduced Claustrophobia: The main advantage of standing MRI is that it eliminates the sensation of being enclosed in a narrow tunnel. Patients can stand or sit comfortably, reducing the feeling of confinement and preventing panic attacks.
Enhanced Comfort: With relaxed posture and increased comfort, patients experience less anxiety, ensuring a successful MRI procedure.
Open Design: Standing MRI machines are more open and spacious compared to the traditional ones. The design fosters a sense of freedom and ease, making the experience less intimidating.
Real-time Monitoring: The machines are equipped with real-time monitoring capabilities, allowing professionals to communicate with patients during the procedure, further reducing anxiety. High-quality Imaging: Despite its open design, standing MRI delivers high-quality images, ensuring accurate diagnosis. Patients get diagnostic benefits without any stress.
