Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), also known as nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, is a modern, non-invasive medical investigation method without radiation, used for detailed evaluation of the internal structures of the body. This technology uses a strong magnetic field and radiofrequency pulses to obtain precise images of joints, muscles, ligaments, and the spine.
At Centrokinetic Ploiesti, patients benefit from examinations performed using open MRI, a modern and comfortable solution for diagnosing orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions, designed for those who want a safe and relaxed experience during the scan.
What is Open MRI and who is it recommended for?
Open MRI represents a modern alternative to conventional MRI systems, specially designed to reduce patient discomfort and allow precise investigations of the spine and limbs.
This type of investigation is recommended for patients experiencing joint pain, sports injuries, degenerative conditions, suspected ligament or muscle injuries, as well as for those who require monitoring after orthopedic surgery or medical rehabilitation treatments.

Why choose Open MRI at Centrokinetic Ploiesti?
Superior patient comfort: The open design significantly reduces claustrophobia and allows a more relaxed experience during the scan.
Improved accessibility: Suitable for patients of all ages and body types, including overweight individuals.
Ideal for children and anxious patients: The more open environment helps reduce stress and facilitates obtaining clear and accurate images.
Diagnostic precision: Optimal positioning of the investigated segment allows detailed evaluation of musculoskeletal structures.
Recommended for elderly patients: The flexibility of the system allows positioning adapted to patient comfort.
High-quality images: Patient relaxation contributes to reducing motion artifacts and obtaining accurate diagnostic results.
What conditions can be investigated with Open MRI?
Open MRI is frequently used for diagnosing spinal conditions, ligament injuries, muscle tears, degenerative joint disorders, sports injuries, and inflammatory musculoskeletal conditions.
It is an essential investigation for establishing a correct orthopedic or medical rehabilitation treatment plan, especially when pain persists or mobility is limited.
