Patient Guide

What to Expect During Your Open MRI in Dubai

Understanding what happens before, during, and after your Open MRI helps ensure a smooth, comfortable, and stress-free diagnostic experience. At our Dubai Healthcare City facility, we prioritize patient comfort and clear communication throughout every step of your Open MRI journey.

Comfort First

Preparation for your Open MRI in Dubai is simple and requires minimal advance planning.
  • Safety Screening: Remove all metal objects, jewelry, watches, hearing aids, and electronic devices before entering the Open MRI room. Metal can interfere with the magnetic field and pose safety risks.
  • Clothing Requirements: Wear loose, comfortable clothing without metal zippers, buttons, or underwire. You may be asked to change into a provided hospital gown to ensure no metal enters the Open MRI room.
  • Medical History Disclosure: Tell our team about any metal implants, pacemakers, defibrillators, surgical clips, stents, or pregnancy before your Open MRI scan. Most modern implants are MRI safe, but we need to verify compatibility for your safety.
  • Fasting Instructions: Most Open MRI scans require no fasting, so you can eat and drink normally. However, abdominal Open MRI scans or pelvic Open MRI scans may require 4 to 6 hours of fasting to ensure optimal image quality. We will provide specific preparation instructions when you book your appointment at our Dubai Healthcare City facility.
  • Contrast Material: If your Open MRI scan requires contrast material, which is called gadolinium, our team will explain the process and check for any allergies or kidney function concerns before administration.
  • Family Support: Family members can stay in the room with you during the Open MRI scan, which is especially helpful for children, elderly patients, or those with anxiety. This is one of the key advantages of Open MRI technology.

During the Scan

Your Open MRI scan is a painless, non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields and radio waves with no radiation exposure and no enclosed tunnel.
  • Scan Duration: Most Open MRI scans take 30 to 60 minutes depending on the body area and imaging protocol, similar to closed MRI. The open design may allow for slightly longer scan times if needed for patient comfort, but image quality remains excellent.
  • Open Design: The main advantage of Open MRI is that you can see your surroundings throughout the entire scan. There is no enclosed tunnel, and you can see the room, staff, and your family members if they are present. This significantly reduces anxiety and makes the experience much more comfortable.
  • Comfort Measures: We provide noise canceling headphones with music, comfortable cushions for support, and blankets to keep you warm. The open design provides natural light and ventilation, making the experience more pleasant than closed MRI scanners.
  • Constant Communication: Our certified Open MRI technologist maintains two way communication with you throughout the procedure. You can talk to us anytime, and we can pause the scan at any time for your comfort. Family members can also communicate with you during the scan.
  • What You Will Hear: The Open MRI scanner produces tapping, knocking, and buzzing sounds during image acquisition, which is normal and expected. The noise is typically quieter than closed MRI systems, and noise canceling headphones help minimize the sound.
  • Staying Still: It is important to remain as still as possible during your Open MRI scan to ensure clear, diagnostic quality images. We will position you comfortably and provide cushions to help you maintain the correct position throughout the scan.
  • Zero Radiation: Unlike CT scans or X-rays, Open MRI scans use no ionizing radiation. The procedure is safe for repeated imaging when medically necessary, making it ideal for follow up studies and monitoring treatment progress.

After Your Scan

You can resume all normal activities immediately after your Open MRI scan with no recovery time or downtime required.
  • Immediate Activity Resumption: Since Open MRI scans use no ionizing radiation and most scans do not require contrast material, you can drive, return to work, exercise, and resume all normal activities immediately after your scan. If contrast material was used, you may be advised to drink extra water, but no restrictions apply.
  • Fast Results Delivery: Expert subspecialty radiologist interpretation and detailed diagnostic report are typically available within 18 to 24 hours of your Open MRI scan. Same-day reporting is available for urgent cases requiring immediate medical attention at our Dubai Healthcare City facility.
  • Results Distribution: Your Open MRI scan results are automatically sent directly to your referring physician via secure electronic transmission. You can also access your results, images, and radiologist report through our secure online patient portal at any time.
  • Follow-Up Care: If your Open MRI scan reveals findings requiring immediate medical attention, we coordinate directly with your referring physician to ensure prompt follow-up care. Our radiologists are available to discuss results with your doctor if needed.
  • Image Access: You will receive a CD or digital copy of your Open MRI images for your records and to share with other healthcare providers if needed. The images are yours to keep.
