The wide-bore MRI offers a larger opening than traditional MRI machines, which can reduce anxiety and claustrophobia for patients during scans.

Aspirus Riverview Hospital Imaging Services manager Kelly Kremer said: “The wide bore MRI is a game-changer for our patients and our medical team.

“Its larger opening offers a more comfortable experience, which is especially beneficial for patients who may have struggled with the confined space of older machines. Beyond comfort, the advanced imaging capabilities allow us to capture clearer, more detailed scans that are crucial for accurate diagnoses.”

In addition to enhancing patient comfort, the new MRI machine features an enhanced table design to accommodate a wider variety of body types.
