Closed MRI systems are being considered safer as they pose lower risk of harmful radiation escape than open MRI system

 

Closed MRI system


  The invention of the MRI system has influenced the study of various internal organs and the detection of diseases for physicians. MRI systems help doctors to detect and identify brain illnesses, serious spinal and musculoskeletal problems, cancer, and other conditions that are hard to diagnose in their early stages. It also helps to evaluate the integrity of the human body and monitor specific medical conditions.

  MRI systems come in two types; closed MRI systems and open MRI systems. Closed MRI systems are used for degenerating an imaging image of a specific organ or body part without allowing that part of the body to be viewed by the patient. There are several different types of closed MRI systems. One of them is a single bore scanner system that contains a single magnetic field, which is used to find the location of the abnormality. Another type is a multimodal bore scanner that contains two magnetic fields that work together in order to locate the problematic area. It is a topic of debate that closed MRI systems offer a higher level of safety compared to open MRI systems, as there is no room for any radiation to escape harming the patient.  

  However, MRI magnets create robust electromagnetic fields without needing high-power radiation sources, which reduces the possibility of escape of such radiations. Closed MRI systems allow better monitoring of the procedure and provide more time for questions or concerns, as they provide detailed images with better quality. Many systems come with a video monitor that can be accessed any time during the procedure.

  For example, during a head and neck scan, if the patient needs assistance, they can watch the video feed and ask questions if necessary. The scan can be monitored much more carefully, as it offers direct communication between the scanner and the patient, which helps to ensure that the procedure is as comfortable and accurate as possible. Recently, in November 2020, Siemens launched its smallest and most lightweight whole-body MRI system.
