Specifications

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.
  • Movable, trans-polar stabilization bars to enhance patient comfort and stability during multi-positional scans such as flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral bending.
  • Whisper Gradients™ for quiet scans.

Position Imaging™

  • 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.
