Open MRI uses the same technology as a traditional MRI, but has a large, non-conforming opening. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive way of viewing organs, soft tissues, bone and virtually all other internal body structures. MRI uses radio waves passed through a powerful magnetic field to produce clear and detailed pictures of the chest, providing information on the heart and lungs that cannot be otherwise obtained from an x-ray, ultrasound, or computed tomography (CT) scan.

CT (computed tomography), sometimes called CAT scan, uses special x-ray equipment to obtain image data from different angles around the body and then uses computer processing of the information to show a cross-section of body tissues and organs.

An x-ray (radiograph) is a painless medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Radiography involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.

Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Ultrasound exams do not use ionizing radiation (x-ray). Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can show the structure and movement of the body's internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels.
