Given the choice, just 15% of people in our mini-poll said they would prefer a conventional #MRIscan where you lie down in a #tunnel - not surprising when you can sit down or stand up in a #MRI scanner that is completely open at the front. No #claustrophobia and no #FearofMRI
Our recent mini-poll also showed that over 80% of patients are not aware you can ask your #consultant to refer you for an #UprightOpenMRI scan, where you sit or stand in a scanner completely open at the front - no #claustrophobia and no #FearofMRI
In a recent mini-poll 30% of people who'd had a tunnel #MRIscan felt very #nervous and #claustrophobic, or needed #sedation. Ask your #NHS #consultant to refer you for a #Medserena #UprightOpenMRI #scan
#EhlersDanlosSyndrome we love #zebras
The non-expert guides on #EDS & #HSD were written for the newly-diagnosed, our families and friends, journalists and students who want a quick understanding, even doctors, nurses, physical therapists, technicians who need a fast read before an appointment buff.ly/2GdAsKq
Cost to #NHS of #obesity projected to be nearly £10 billion by 2050... thehrdirector.com/business-n…
Look at what Professor Francis Smith, Clinical Director at Medserena Upright Open MRI Centre has to say about why MRI scans are so constricted amp.gs/dSEf @Medserena
We're always happy to help, Karen. We specialise in imaging patients suffering from #EhlersDanlosSyndrome or #hEDS and we understand that horses are sometimes actually #zebras - all the best from the #Medserena team in London and Manchester
I'm fed up with arguments in the M.E groups. Don't go rushing for cervical fusions, but equally don't discount possibility. Easy method for sorting it in UK. If you're suspicious you may have it (& no you don't have to have EDS) get upright scan at @Medserena #millionsmissing
Traditional #medical #scans may be unable to accurately diagnose #whiplash after a #CarCrash. Doctors fail to look for injury in the craniocervical junction (CCJ) – the complex area of ligaments and tough tissues that connect the top of the spine to the skull

Tell us about your May. What #myEDSchallenge or #myHSDchallenge did you take? What was the most memorable or impactful moment during this year's May Awareness month?
How an #UprightMRI scanning you in a natural weight-bearing position - and exactly where pain is experienced the most - leads to a better diagnosis of #BackPain and other conditions #obesity #NHS #osteoporosis #overweight healthdigital.uk/2019/05/31/… via @HealthDigital
Great article on pages 60-61 by Professor Smith on why #UprightMRI scans are better at diagnosing #whiplash after a #Road #Accident than conventional #tunnel #MRI #scanners
Tons of great content in the latest issue of Hub News... please take a look. If you're interested in healthcare, then this is a real page turner! view.flipdocs.com/?ID=100234…
One way to get #NHS funding for your #UprightMRI scan is via an Individual Funding Request (IFR) which, if approved, guarantees payment from the local #Hospital Trust or Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) #EDS
An #UprightMRI scan of the cervical spine is made sitting upright with the #neck in the normal position, then flexed and then extended to give a dynamic study. Here at #Medserena we specialise in imaging patients suffering from #EhlersDanlosSyndrome
Diagnosis of #EDS can be made by any doctor, such as a #dermatologist, #rheumatologist or clinical geneticist. You may benefit from being seen by your local clinical genetics service, even if another branch of medicine has made the diagnosis. buff.ly/2VrGX2m
Our #UprightMRI Centres are private facilities that accept #NHS patients who have prior approved funding for their #scan. You need to contact your #Consultant, #GP or other #healthcare professional to be referred to us #EDS
Get #scanxiety at the thought of lying in a cramped #MRI tunnel? Ask for a #Medserena #MRIscan. You sit down or stand up, and it's totally open at the front! No #claustrophobia or #anxiety Read about it here anxietyuk.org.uk/blog/say-no… … #NHS
