Cleveland Clinic Dayton Imaging - Far Hills Avenue

Yes, we have a 3T MRI machine.

This 3T MRI scanner is considered "Open Architecture"; it has a wider and shorter patient opening. It was designed to blend patient comfort and much better imaging quality. This MRI center scans many claustrophobic patients with success; a claustrophobic patient will not be expected to sacrifice emotional well-being to achieve a successful scan. Let the schedulers know you are concerned about claustrophobia and ask how you can successfully undergo your full MRI scan. The magnetic strength of a MRI unit influences the quality of images it produces. Most MRI scanners in the Dayton area are 1.5T (Tesla "T" is the unit of magnetic strength); Open MRI scanners in the Dayton area are typically 0.7T or lower, about 1/2 the strength of a 1.5T and over 4 times less powerful than this 3T. This should be a consideration because patients deserve the scan with the best image quality and detail possible.This 3T scanner provides better image quality, just like more pixels on your cell phone!
