MRI Imaging
Whether you are chasing personal bests or recovering from injury, your movement tells a story — and our dynamic, weight-bearing MRI captures it in motion. Cayman Medical offers the region's most advanced open MRI system, designed to visualize real-life biomechanics under load, in comfort, and without confinement.

What to know
Unlike standard MRI scanners, the Cayman Kinetic MRI allows imaging in standing, sitting, or in-motion positions. This means we can visualize how your joints, spine, and muscles behave under real-life, weight-bearing conditions - something traditional MRI cannot capture. It's especially valuable for athletes and active individuals where movement matters.
Sports-related injuries often appear only when a joint or spine is under stress. A weight-bearing MRI shows how your body reacts under load - such as when standing, running, or bending - helping to pinpoint issues that may be missed when lying flat. This helps leading to more accurate diagnoses, faster recovery plans, and better treatment outcomes.
Yes. It uses the same proven, non-invasive magnetic technology as standard MRI, but in an open, comfortable environment. There is no radiation exposure, and scans are performed by trained technologists under physician supervision.
Ideal for: - Athletes and fitness enthusiasts - Active individuals with joint, back, or soft-tissue pain - Post-surgical patients requiring follow-up evaluation - Physiotherapy and orthopedic cases focused on biomechanics - Medical tourists seeking advanced imaging and private recovery
Our MRI is open-style - meaning you are not placed inside a tunnel. This greatly reduces claustrophobia and discomfort, allowing you to move naturally during dynamic imaging.
Dynamic and weight-bearing scans can be performed for: - Spine (lumbar and cervical) - Knees, hips, and ankles - Shoulders and upper extremities - Pelvis and other joints under motion or stress
Most scans take 30-60 minutes, depending on the region and whether dynamic sequences are included. Adding the kinetic part, adds around 15-30 minutes. Our technologists will guide you through each step and ensure your comfort throughout.
Absolutely. Your MRI images and radiology report are prepared by in-house US board-certified radiologists and are compatible with reports physicians, orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors, and physiotherapists need. Reports can be sent directly to your care team for coordinated treatment.
While referrals from a physician or chiropractor are welcome, self-referrals are also accepted. Our medical team can review your case and recommend the most appropriate imaging protocol.
Wear comfortable, metal-free clothing. You'll be asked to remove jewelry, watches, and phones before the scan. For dynamic studies, wear or bring flexible athletic wear that allows natural movement.
Many local and international insurance plans cover MRI scans. We'll help you verify your benefits and can also provide self-pay and tourism packages if needed.
