Upright / True open MRI Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system is a unique imaging modality that allows examinations in natural, weight-bearing positions such as sitting or standing. This true open MRI offers significant clinical value by enabling the assessment of posture-dependent symptoms and providing an alternative for patients who cannot tolerate conventional tunnel MRI scanners.

Our team specializes in MRI examinations for patients who experience claustrophobia or discomfort in conventional tunnel MRI scanners. The open, upright design allows examinations in a calm, controlled environment with continuous visual contact, significantly reducing anxiety while maintaining high diagnostic quality. In addition, multipositional imaging supports the assessment of posture-dependent conditions such as degenerative spine disorders and enables seated defecography in a physiologically natural position.
Patients benefit from an exceptionally open setting that reduces anxiety, provides continuous visual contact with the radiographer, and enables imaging in the body position that best reflects their symptoms. For referrers, the Upright MRI supports precise evaluation of posture-dependent spinal or pelvic floor disorders and assists in treatment planning, especially when considering surgical options. This multipositional capability delivers diagnostic clarity that cannot be achieved with conventional MRI systems.
Yes. Unlike conventional MRI tunnels, the Upright MRI is open in front and above, allowing direct visual contact with our staff. Many patients with claustrophobia find this system significantly more comfortable.
No. MRI is a completely painless imaging method. You simply sit or stand still while the system acquires the images. Our team supports you throughout the examination.
Certain symptoms—especially back, pelvic or load-related pain—appear only when standing or sitting. Upright MRI provides images under natural conditions and offers more accurate diagnosis in these cases.
Yes. The Upright MRI works on the same physical principles as a conventional MRI. It provides high-quality images, especially of the spine, and is ideal for positional assessments. Upright / True open MRI examinations may take longer than conventional MRI scans because multiple image acquisitions are performed in different functional positions, and careful positioning is required to ensure diagnostic accuracy while maintaining patient comfort in the open, weight-bearing setting.
Patients with claustrophobia, degenerative spine diseases, posture-dependent symptoms, or those requiring positional pelvic floor imaging (e.g., MR defecography). Referring physicians can contact us for case-specific advice.
The imaging is not comparable to a conventional MRI.
