How does the open mri works when you need a lumbar spine one

The open MRI works the same as any other MRI. The machine is just bigger than the normal MRI machines. Same procedure though. You must stay still while being scanned

Hi Abby, while you asked this question a year ago, we recently created a video to help patients see the benefits of the open MRI. By posting it here, others may see your question and view the video to help them prepare. Thanks for the opportunity to show Shields' high-field open MRI. https://vimeo.com/343236860
