In 2011, McLaren-Central Michigan unveiled a new, ultra-short open bore MRI that produces higher quality images and has an opening nearly 20% larger than closed-bore MRIs. Most procedures are performed feet-first, with the patient's head staying outside the bore. Noise levels - patients' top complaint - are reduced by up to 90%. The new MRI also allows advanced breast imaging and biopsies that lead to more precise diagnoses and timelier, more accurate treatment decisions between doctors and patients.
