Open MRI of 1 region in Sevilla
Open MRI is the ideal alternative for those patients who need to undergo an MRI but suffer from claustrophobia and experience anxiety when taking the test in a "closed tube" machine, or who have severe obesity.
It is also a perfect alternative for children, as they can have their parents or guardians present during the test.This MRI machine is distinguished by its completely open design consisting of two parallel magnetic plates (top and bottom) leaving the sides open, so patients do not have the feeling of being enclosed in a narrow and completely closed tube, as is the case with conventional MRI.
The Open MRI machine is ideal for patients with claustrophobia, as its completely open design eliminates the feeling of confinement.
Do you need to have an Open MRI (1 region)?
Purchase your test quickly and with the guarantees of Operarme at one of our collaborating medical centres and diagnose possible anomalies.

What does an Open MRI detect and which parts of the body does it study?
Open MRI works in the same way as conventional resonance: it uses powerful magnets and radio waves to produce high-resolution images of the inside of the body, without emitting any radiation to the patient at any time.
It can detect various medical conditions depending on the part of the body or organ that needs to be examined: from muscle injuries, tumours, lumps, inflammation, tears and herniated discs to vascular pathologies and abnormalities in internal organs.
The main parts of the body analysed with an open magnetic resonance imaging scan are:
- Spine.
- Joints: knees, shoulders, wrists, ankles and hips.
- Brain.
- Abdomen and pelvis.
What types of MRI scans cannot be performed with an open resonance machine?
The main difference between a conventional machine and an open machine is the intensity of its magnetic field (teslas):
- Open machines tend to be more limited and have a low field: between 0.2T and 0.5T.
- Closed machines are usually more powerful and faster (high field): 1.5T to 3T.
This means that open machines are a good option when large parts of the body need to be examined, or areas that are not in constant motion, such as joints, bone structure, studies related to traumatology or rheumatology, or basic neurology studies such as the detection of brain tumours.
The studies that are not recommended to be performed by Open MRI, as the power and definition of the machine would be limited, are the following:
- Cardiac MRI
- Studies measuring brain activity.
- Breast studies.
- Spectroscopy.
- Multiparametric prostate studies.
- Angiographies.

How is an open MRI performed in the Unilabs - Resonancia Abierta Recaredo?
On the day of the test, you attend the Unilabs - Resonancia Abierta Recaredo at your scheduled appointment time and receive instructions to reach the corresponding radiology room.
- Once in the room, they will provide you with a gown to change into, and you must remove all jewellery, watches, keys, coins, mobile phones, etc.
- Next, they will instruct you to lie on the stretcher to prepare for the test. The technician will place a device known as a "coil" on the area to be examined. This device simply helps the machine to better receive the radio signals and create the image, and it does not cause pain or discomfort to the patient.
- It is important that you do not move during the test, as there must be no movement during the process to obtain sharp images.
- Generally, the technician may provide you with earplugs before starting the test, as the machine may emit sounds such as banging or buzzing during the duration of the test.
- Throughout the process, you have direct contact with the technician if you need assistance or to stop.
The estimated length of surgery or test duration is usually 20 to 30 minutes.
