The open MRI scanner works similar to a computer. For those of you who are not aware of what a computer is, it is basically a device used to create and manipulate information that can be made into printable form.

Since the Open MRI Scanner uses a computer, it requires much less equipment for running than other MRIs that are operated with wireless technology. Another reason why this MRI can be used for medical purposes is because it can easily be used in labs and other similar settings where scanning is needed.
