MRI machines are divided into three variants.
MRI of extremities: This MRI focuses on the extremities (arms and legs) of the body. Whole-body scans typically use large tubular devices that can accommodate the entire body and scan every corner of the body, but in this case, a smaller scanner is designed to scan only the extremities of the body. This has been proven to help patients with claustrophobia, or claustrophobia.
Open MRI: An open MRI is designed with a wider opening with open sides, but still requires the patient to lie down on a sliding table. It is a much more convenient option for patients with anxiety disorders who are afraid to stay indoors for long periods of time.
Tesla MRI: This type of MRI uses a magnetic field twice as strong as a standard MRI and produces sharper images in less time. It is primarily used to scan the brain to detect tumors, and aneurysms, and to scan the heart to detect blockages in blood vessels.
