For a lot of people, the scary part of an MRI isn't the scan, it's the tube. That closed-in feeling can be enough to make someone put off a test their doctor recommended.

Good news: Open MRI ditches the narrow tunnel for wide, open sides, so you're not enclosed the same way.

Here's why patients love it:
More space, less panic
You can often see out of the machine, not just up at a wall
Calmer patients tend to hold still better, which means clearer images
Great for kids, larger patients, or anyone who just doesn't do well in tight spaces
A support person can often stay closer during the exam

Your health shouldn't take a back seat to your anxiety. If claustrophobia has ever made you cancel or avoid an MRI, ask about Open MRI. Same answers your doctor needs, way less stress getting there.

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves—not radiation—to create images of structures inside the body. A handheld device called a transducer sends sound waves into the body, and the echoes that bounce back are converted into real-time images.

This safe, noninvasive technology allows providers to examine organs, blood vessels, muscles, tendons, and developing babies without surgery or exposure to ionizing radiation.

A DEXA scan is the gold standard for measuring bone density and detecting osteoporosis before a fracture occurs. It's quick, painless, and uses a very low dose of radiation.

By identifying bone loss early, a DEXA scan can help you and your provider take steps to reduce your risk of future fractures and maintain long-term bone health.

If you're over 65, have risk factors for osteoporosis, or have experienced a fracture after a minor fall, a DEXA scan may be an important part of your preventive care.
