High-Resolution Closed MRI Imaging for Accurate Diagnoses
An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan is one of the most advanced diagnostic imaging tools available. During the scan, a strong magnetic field and radio waves are used to create detailed images of your internal organs, soft tissues, and bones. At Florida MRI, we offer state-of-the-art Closed MRI services designed to provide exceptional image quality and diagnostic precision for every patient.
Advantages of the Closed MRI
While Open MRI scans are designed for comfort and accessibility, Closed MRI systems are known for their superior image clarity and diagnostic accuracy. Because of their stronger magnetic field strength, Closed MRI machines can produce highly detailed images that help doctors detect even the smallest abnormalities in tissue or bone.
Key benefits include:
- High-definition imaging: Closed MRI scanners can reach higher magnetic field strengths (typically 1.5T to 3T), allowing for sharper and more detailed images.
- Faster scans: The stronger magnets can complete imaging sequences more quickly, reducing total scan time in many cases.
- Comprehensive diagnostic range: Closed MRIs are especially effective for neurological, musculoskeletal, spinal, and vascular imaging.
- Greater precision for specialists: Physicians often prefer Closed MRI results for evaluating complex conditions or planning surgical or therapeutic procedures.
Although Closed MRI systems are more enclosed than open units, our modern machines are designed with patient comfort in mind—featuring wider bores, calming lighting, and shorter scan durations.
What You Need to Know
At Florida MRI Centers, our certified technologists and compassionate staff are dedicated to ensuring your Closed MRI experience is both comfortable and efficient. We work to capture clear, high-quality diagnostic images on your first visit, minimizing the need for repeat scans.
Your technologist will walk you through each step of your exam, answer any questions, and ensure you feel supported throughout the process. You’ll also have constant communication with your technologist during the scan, so if you ever feel uncomfortable, we can pause and assist immediately.
What to Expect
Before your appointment, we’ll provide specific preparation instructions based on your medical history and the area of the body being scanned. Please let us know if you are pregnant, nursing, or may be pregnant, as this may affect how we proceed with your imaging.
If your exam requires contrast dye, our team will review all safety considerations in advance. We’ll also discuss any metal implants or medical devices you may have, since metal can interfere with MRI imaging.
Once you arrive:
- You’ll change into a comfortable gown and secure your belongings in a private storage area.
- Your technologist will position you on the exam table and place a small coil device over the area being scanned to improve image quality.
- You’ll be given earplugs or headphones to minimize the sound of the machine.
- The scan typically lasts between 20–45 minutes depending on the area of focus.
Throughout the exam, you’ll be able to communicate with your technologist via an intercom system for reassurance or assistance.
