Welcome to a new MRI scanning experience
 

We hope that you will find this site useful, if you need any further information, you will find all our details on the contact us page. We will be very happy to answer any questions you may have.

 










Patient Handling System

  • Translation function advances the upright or recumbent patient into center of the magnet
  • Elevator function places standing patient's anatomy of interest at magnet isocenter
  • Tilt function rotates the patient from upright to the recumbent position
  • Table slightly tilted at 5 degrees to stabilize patients during upright scanning
  • Support fixtures for RF receiver coils integrated into the table.
  • Motorized and computer-controlled
  • Fully MRI-compatible

Patient Comfort

  • The only true Open MRI
  • The most non-claustrophobic whole-body Open MRI.
  • Walk in, stand or sit for the scan, walk out
  • Removable seat
  • An unprecedented degree of patient comfort because there is an unobstructed view of the scanner room from inside the magnet. There is nothing in front of the patient's face.
  • Movable, trans-polar stabilization bars to enhance patient comfort and stability during multi-positional scans such as flexion, extension, rotation and lateral bending.
  • Whisper GradientsT for quiet scans

Position MRIT (pMRIT)

  • Weight-bearing studies of the human anatomy.
  • Unrestricted range-of-motion for flexion, extension, rotation and lateral bending.
  • Brain scans with the patient upright (vertical)
  • Patient positioning plays a critical role in detecting clinically significant pathology.

Magnet

  • 0.6 Tesla field strength
  • Iron-frame electromagnet
  • Front-open and top-open magnet design
  • Magnetic poles are on the left and right of the patient
  • Horizontal (transaxial) magnetic field orientation
  • 18 inch (46 cm) pole-to-pole, horizontal gap
  • Multi-positional capabilities for positional MRI™ (pMRI™) studies
