Never Again Claustrophobia: New Open MRI in Vienna's Auhof Center
Developed under the leadership of Univ.-Doz. Dr. Robert Bucek, MBA, the new system relies on patient-friendly technology with an open design, quiet operation, and a relaxed atmosphere. This offering is primarily aimed at people with claustrophobia – an issue that is estimated to affect up to seven percent of the population.
Open Design Creates New Opportunities
In contrast to traditional MRI tube scanners, the open device allows for more freedom of movement and an increased sense of security. “Patients can terminate the examination independently at any time – this alone alleviates fear for many,” explains Dr. Bucek. Companions are also allowed to stay in the examination room, which is particularly beneficial for children and elderly individuals.
Another comfort: The examination can be accompanied by music of choice or a guided meditation upon request. The examination tables also allow for side positioning – a rare advantage in head examinations.
Open MRI in Vienna: Setting New Standards in Pain-Free Imaging
In addition to the open design, the MRI offers high image quality, comparable to conventional devices. "We have greatly expanded our range of services," says Dr. Bucek. "With the exception of a few special examinations, we can now perform almost all MRI diagnoses – without X-ray radiation."
This is particularly important for the precise localization of pain causes. In combination with high-resolution ultrasound diagnostics, targeted therapy approaches can be developed – a significant step in modern pain medicine.
Auhof Center as a Medical Provider in the West of Vienna
With the new MRI, the Auhof Center strengthens its role as a comprehensive health location. Owner KR Peter Schaider emphasizes: "The Auhof Center is more than a shopping center – we offer local services, including in the medical field. With the new MRI, we create an innovative offering for people who feel uncomfortable in conventional devices."
The MRI practice usually offers appointments within a week, and for urgent cases, short-term acute appointments – in the evenings or on weekends. The contact details are: +43 1 908 1135 or www.offenemrt.wien
