I am not quite sure what the person is wanting to know but, as an MRI technologist, I felt I might be able to shed some light on the question. MRI stands for, "magnetic resonance imaging". We use a magnetic field to image the hydrogen protons in the body that have been subjected to radio frequencies. The term resonance means that these protons are spinning at the same frequency (in sync). Patients may choose to have an OPEN MRI or a CLOSED MRI. The difference is that with a closed unit, the images are better because the magnet is stronger. It is an enclosed tube that is usually open on both ends. An OPEN MRI is usually a table with equipment above you and equipment below you (nothing on the sides). The OPEN is used to image people that are claustrophobic or that may be too large (over a weight limit) to fit inside the CLOSED unit. It is always best to discuss plans with your physician if claustrophobia is the issue. I hope this has helped.
