Welcome to Vermont OPEN Imaging

OPEN is our middle name
In 2011, we opened with a clear mission: to make diagnostic medical imaging more accessible, transparent, and comfortable for everyone who walks through our doors. From offering Open MRI technology for patients with claustrophobia, to maintaining OPEN schedules with extended hours and minimal wait times, our model is simple: Stay OPEN — to patients, to progress, and to doing things better.
How we stay OPEN

OPEN Collaboration-We work closely with referring providers to ensure accurate scans and prompt results.
We give you choices.
Each patient’s imaging needs are unique. Our knowledgeable staff will ensure you are scheduled on the optimal machine for your specific needs.
Our new CT Scanner, now scheduling for November 2025
We know what matters.
We know that getting an MRI or CT can feel daunting—whether it’s the thought of being in a tight space or worries about cost. That’s why OPEN is on a mission is to make your imaging experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
What matters most to you?
-
We have the two most comfortable MRI 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, that’s why we offer the only true Open MRI scanner (1.2T) in our region. You will have extra breathing room and still get exceptional images.
Our CT scanner provides high quality imaging with a low radiation dose and efficient scan times.
Our highly trained staff will warmly greet you, address any concerns and check-in with you throughout your scan. Your comfort is our highest priority.

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.
Our Siemens SOMATOM go.top CT scanner, newly installed in 2025, will provide high quality detailed imaging.
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 Imaging, we can typically get you in more quickly than other providers by offering early morning, evening and weekend appointments for MRIs. For CT scans, we are scheduling 8-5, Monday through Friday. But we are almost always scheduling sooner than other local providers.
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 diagnostic imaging 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!

Sarah D. - Parent of active Queen City Soccer player
“We chose Vermont OPEN Imaging because we needed to know quickly if my daughter could finish out her sports season. I appreciated that the technologist was patient with my questions and that we got her report the next day! Even though the results weren’t what we hoped for, the MRI experience was top-notch.”

Karina H. - Values cost savings
“When I found out that VT OPEN Imaging 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 OPEN again for their expertise, compassion, and outstanding cost savings.”

Rusty D. (aka The Logger) -Appreciates the Open MRI
“I was referred to OPEN 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.”

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 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 to support cancer research and help local families facing similar battles. I reached out to OPEN 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.”

Caitlin B. - Mom of son eager to get back out on the field
“A sports medicine specialist recommended OPEN Imaging 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 is there as a reliable, efficient, and convenient option.”
