Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a critical diagnostic tool, and specialized approaches are often necessary to ensure a safe, accurate, and comfortable scan for patients with obesity. This specialized imaging, sometimes referred to as Bariatric MRI, involves adjustments to both the equipment and the imaging techniques.

Our WIDE OPEN BORE MRI 3 TESLA SCANNER can accommodate Patients comfortably upto 250 Kgs.

MRI Scan for Obese Patients: Challenges and Solutions
Obese and morbidly obese patients present unique technical and logistical challenges for standard MRI scans.
Equipment Limitations
Standard MRI equipment may have limits that impact an obese patient’s ability to undergo a successful scan.
- Table Weight Limits:Traditional MRI Scanner tables often have a weight capacity limit, which can be as low as 100 to 150 kgs.
- Using such equipment beyond the manufacturer’s specified weight limit will cause mechanical damage and also high risk to the Patient by way of Table collapse.
- Specialized Bariatric Scan MRI centers like Madras Scans & Labs are equipped with newer, specialized WIDE OPEN BORE HIGH STRENGTH 3 TESLA MAGNET MRI SCANNERS that offer higher table load limits of 250 / 500 kgs for the FIRST TIME IN INDIA.
- So, in our MRI Scanner, the Patient can undergo the MRI Scan Test with additional safety.
- Bore Diameter:The bore diameter (or the size of the tunnel the patient enters) is often the most significant limiting factor for doing MRI Scans for well built, obese and super obese Patients.
- Other Diagnostic Centers routinely have a less powerful 1.5 TESLA Magnet and these Machines have a Standard cylindrical size of 60 cms or less.
- If you put obese patients in such narrow tunnel machines, there is a risk for burns or for a patient to be stuck inside the bore.
- In our WIDE OPEN BORE SIEMENS HIGH POWER 3 TESLA MRI SCANNER, the bore size is 70 cm and can easily accommodate any patient with large abdominal girth comfortably.
Image Quality and Technical Adaptations
In the case of Routine 1.5 TESLA narrow tunnel machines, due to increased amount of adipose tissue in obese patients can affect the image quality, image acquisition and will also have Image Artifacts and reduced field of view;
- But in our WIDE OPEN BORE SIEMENS HIGH POWER 3 TESLA MRI SCANNER, installed at MADRAS SCANS & LABS, due to the high magnet strength and wide bore size the image quality and the field of view is excellent.
Above all, being a WIDE OPEN BORE SIEMENS HIGH POWER
