NO Sedation Needed . . .  Painless . . .   Experience the Difference.

The HITACHI ARIS II provides patients with the comfort of being in an OPEN MRI scanner. Patients can Experience the Difference. No Sedation is needed to alleviate the fear and the claustrophobia associated with a closed MRI scanner.

All that is required of the patient is to lay still and relax while listening to music. You may bring your own cd or choose from our library. Please keep in mind that companions are welcome during the scan.
