New MRI Scanner Focuses on Patient Centered Care<br />
Elkhart General Hospital has welcomed an advanced new MRI scanner inside a unique “experience<br />
suite.” The new equipment is especially designed with claustrophobic patients in mind and includes<br />
the latest software to improve each patient’s exam.<br />
“One of the biggest issues that arise when performing MRIs is claustrophobic reactions because<br />
patients are typically placed inside a long tube,” explained Ray Kiendl, Director of Radiology. “The<br />
only way to ease this problem is to sedate the patient. The new scanner has a wider and shorter<br />
bore, offering the patient a more comfortable experience, so we expect less need for nursing sedation<br />
support.” This new “open bore” concept keeps the patient’s head outside the MRI scanner for many<br />
exams, which minimizes the claustrophobic reactions.”<br />
The experience suite offers some unique features to further enhance the patient’s visit. “Patients<br />
can choose their favorite color and with the push of a button, their chosen color will illuminate the<br />
suite,” Kiendl said. “There is also a nature scene in the ceiling to enrich the patient’s mood. Music<br />
is available to all patients through satellite radio or an iPod docking station for their own music<br />
selections. In addition, the experience suite offers an aesthetically pleasing look since all MRI<br />
medical supplies are hidden inside the room’s cabinetry.<br />
The MRI scanner offers many new features that will shorten scan times, improve diagnostic quality<br />
and even allow for some patient motion while still achieving high quality images. The weight limit<br />
increases to 550 pounds versus 350 on the old scanner, and the open bore is wider to accommodate<br />
larger patient size. This scanner’s high field strength yields superior quality unattainable with the<br />
open and wide low field MRI systems.<br />
