Hackensack is home to Hackensack University Medical Center, one of the busiest hospital systems in New Jersey. While HUMC is an excellent resource for acute care and complex procedures, many patients referred for routine or scheduled imaging find that a dedicated outpatient imaging center offers a faster, more comfortable, and more affordable alternative.
At Open MRI 17, Hackensack patients benefit from:
Same-week and sometimes next-day appointments are available for most imaging services. Hospital outpatient departments often have scheduling backlogs of several weeks.
Our center is a standalone imaging facility, not a hospital department. The environment is quiet, unhurried, and entirely focused on delivering a comfortable imaging experience.
The Aperto Lucent HD is the only AI-powered open MRI in America. Patients who have been unable to complete a scan at a traditional facility due to claustrophobia routinely complete their imaging here without difficulty.
Our board-certified radiologists read and report imaging results promptly, so your referring physician can move forward with your care without delay.
