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^TM for quiet scans.

Position Imaging^TM

• 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^TM (pMRI^TM) studies.
