The Stand-Up MRI™ is the only whole-body MRI with the ability to perform Position Imaging™ (pMRI). Patients can be scanned in a multitude of positions, including standing, sitting, flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral bending, as well as the usual recumbent positions used in conventional "lie-down" MRI scanning. For the first time, patients can be scanned in weight-bearing positions and in their positions of symptoms or pain.

The Stand-Up MRI™ is the ultimate in openness, the most non-claustrophobic whole-body MRI scanner in the industry. Patients can walk into the scanner, have their scans done, and walk out. There is nothing directly in front of their faces or over their heads that can cause them to experience a "closed-in" feeling. Highly claustrophobic patients who were unable to tolerate other MRI scanners, some described as "Open"MRIs, have traveled hundreds of miles to be scanned in a Stand-Up MRI™.These patients were greatly relieved to have finally successfully completed an MRI examination. In addition to its extraordinary openness, the Stand-Up MRI™ is unusually quiet. Patients can comfortably sit and watch a favorite program on a 42" Flat Screen TV mounted on the scanner room wall.
