Distinguished from traditional closed MRI machines, Open MRIs offer a patient-friendly alternative with a non-restrictive design, ideal for those with claustrophobia or larger body sizes. We examine the technical differences, highlighting how Open MRIs operate without enclosing the patient. The article covers the broad spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions diagnosable through Open MRI, including fractures, soft tissue injuries, and degenerative diseases. We discuss patient safety, especially for those with metal implants, and the importance of screening prior to the scan. This article emphasizes the role of Open MRI in improving patient comfort, reducing anxiety, and its relevance in orthopaedic and sports medicine, providing an in-depth understanding of this innovative diagnostic tool's capabilities and patient benefits.
