An open MRI is for those who may be claustrophobic in a conventional MRI. Also, open MRI’s don’t have the resolution that closed MRIs have. You may consider a short tube MRI. They leave more of you outside the tube, but have higher strength for better imaging. Ask your physician about the Your choices. Open, Closed, Short Tube. If you don’t have a choice you could be medicated or sedated for closed tube.
