Check out our 1.2T Open MRI,
the most powerful and only open MRI in the region!
Meet our wide-bore 3T MRI, with more space than a traditional closed MRI.
We know what matters.
We know that getting an MRI can feel daunting—whether it’s the thought of being in a tight space or worries about cost. That’s why we’re on a mission is to make your MRI experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
What matters most to you?
-
We have the two most comfortable options available. Our wide-bore MRI (3T) is exceptionally spacious for a closed MRI and provides maximum clarity. However, some people still prefer maximum space and that’s why we offer the only true Open MRI scanner in our region. You will have extra breathing room and still get exceptional images.
In addition, our highly trained staffed will warmly greet you, address any concerns and check-in with you throughout your scan. Your comfort is our highest priority.
-
Rest assured that both our scanners offer exceptional image quality. Our Hitachi Oasis 1.2T Open MRI is the highest strength Open scanner on the market and for most MRIs gets the job done with incredible clarity. Our Siemens Verio 3.0T wide-bore closed MRI is the highest strength magnet in our region for scans that require additional detail.
In addition, our elite team of reading radiologists are all sub-specialty trained and provide high-quality reads. We are proud to offer our patients this degree of precision and expertise for their scans.
-
When you need imaging, having to wait is the worst. At Vermont Open MRI we can typically get you in more quickly than other providers by offering early morning, evening and weekend appointments. Your results are usually available in three business days or less.
Plus, you won’t need to worry about navigating a large parking garage or a maze of buildings. We offer plenty of free parking just steps from our front door.
-
As an independent outpatient facility, we keep costs low. In fact, we’re typically thousands less than other MRI providers. Self-pay rates start at just $1,099 and are often less if you have insurance. No surprises or guesswork here—just upfront pricing you can trust.
WE CHECK ALL THE BOXES!

*There are some exams, medical implants, and safety or physical constraints that may dictate which machine is optimal.
CAN I AFFORD IT?
As the lowest cost provider in the area, we are considered preferred providers for many local insurance companies.
Prior to scheduling, our patient care coordinators check coverage and prior authorization requirements for all insurances. We will provide an estimate of potential cost or patient responsibility to reduce any confusion or stress related to navigating insurance coverage prior to your appointment.
HOW WILL MY DOCTORS GET MY IMAGES?
Continuity of care is never something you will need to compromise on when coming to Vermont Open MRI. We work closely with many hospitals, offices and private providers to give them secure, easy access to your results. We share imaging electronically with all local hospitals in the region and typically have the ability to share with most out of state providers as well.
Let us know who is involved in your follow-up care, and we will send your results where they need to go.

Eric G. - Trusts our expertise
“I was diagnosed with Grade 4 Glioblastoma in 2011 and have required regular MRIs ever since. In 2021, I began having my scans at VT Open MRI and couldn’t be happier. The image quality is every bit as precise as what I received before—combined with significant cost savings and the warm atmosphere, I’ll be using them for all of my future imaging!
After my diagnosis, my wife and I started the Cancer Canknot Foundation which supports cancer research and helps local families facing similar battles. I reached out to Vermont Open MRI to ask if they would sponsor one of our charity events, they stepped up without hesitation. They are good people who truly care about their patients.”

Rusty D. (aka The Logger) -Appreciates the Open MRI
“I was referred to Open MRI due to feeling claustrophobic in the closed MRI machines at the hospital. Not only did the Open MRI machine make me feel much more at ease, but I also got to meet Wayne, the office Frenchie! I could hardly believe my eyes as Wayne greeted me by the door when I was checking in and he was able to help calm my nerves prior to the appointment. The whole staff was warm and friendly from start to finish. Very happy to have them here if I need imaging again down the line.”

Karina H. -Values saving on costs
“When I found out that Vermont Open MRI could perform my scan at one-fourth the cost of my local hospital—with the same high-quality imaging— and they could fit me in much sooner, I asked my specialist to send the order there instead. I can’t say enough great things about this place! The scheduler was incredibly knowledgeable, and the technologist immediately put me at ease. I even got my results quickly and they sent them directly to my provider. If I ever need another MRI, I’ll choose Vermont Open MRI again for their expertise, compassion, and outstanding cost savings.”

Caitlin B. - Mom of son eager to get back on the field
“A sports medicine specialist recommended Open MRI for my son after he was injured, and I’m so glad they did. We were able to get an appointment within 48 hours, and he was scanned on a Saturday—which worked perfectly with our busy schedule. We had his results by Monday. As a parent of an active kid, it’s a huge relief to know that Open MRI is a reliable, efficient, and convenient option.”
