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 Upright MRI
• The most non-claustrophobic whole-body Open Upright 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

The office staff from the very first point of contact to the every end was more than wonderful and informative.
