As a result of its unique ability to scan patients in weight-bearing positions the Stand-Up™ MRI has detected problems that would have gone undetected on ordinary lie-down scanners.

The Stand-Up™ is the only true Open MRI. Patients typically sit and watch a big screen TV throughout their scans. Problems with claustrophobia are gone.

THE PROOF IS IN THE PICTURE

These are lumbar spine images of a patient who had undergone back surgery but was continuing to experience pain. The image on the left was acquired with the patient lying down. It shows a normal alignment of the vertebrae. However, when the patient was scanned in an upright position (right image), a dramatic spinal instability was clearly revealed. This problem was visible only when the patient was scanned upright and would have gone undiagnosed on a conventional, lie-down MRI scanner. (Images courtesy of M. Rose, MD; Rose Radiology Centers)
