- short-bore MRI system
-
- A type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unit. The traditional MRI unit is a large cylinder-shaped tube surrounded by a circular magnet. The patient lies on a moveable examination table that slides in the center of the magnet. The short-bore system is designed so that the body part that is being scanned remains in the magnet. The short-bore nature of the magnet allows the body part not being scanned to potentially be "outside" of the magnet. Patients often report the short-bore MRI system is less claustrophobic than a traditional MRI unit.
