The document discusses the OpenScan MRI procedure offered at Rose Radiology practices in Florida. The OpenScan MRI provides images that are more detailed than x-rays in a procedure that does not expose patients to radiation. It offers an open and unobstructed design that avoids the claustrophobia associated with traditional closed MRI machines, allowing patients to see technicians and speak with them during the 30-60 minute scan.

- 2. The OpenScan MRI Procedure Each of the 11 Rose Radiology practices in Florida is run under the supervision of board-certified radiologist. These professionals ensure that patients gain access to high quality imaging and interventional services. One of the cutting-edge procedures offered at Rose Radiology is OpenScan magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The normal MRI procedure is an effective, non-invasive imaging procedure that does not expose the body to x-rays. Instead, MRI relies on a large magnet and radio waves to create images that are more detailed than possible with conventional x-rays.
- 3. The OpenScan MRI Procedure The OpenScan MRI provides unobstructed views from three sides so that patients can see and continue speaking with technologists over the course of the scan. This approach avoids the claustrophobia often associated with more traditional MRI techniques. The conventional MRI machine is a closed tube that patients slide into, but the OpenScan MRI offers a more comfortable option for patients.
