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
Stand-Up MRI Patient Handling System.

Patient Comfort
  • Mega-Open™ design
  • The most non-claustrophobic whole-body Open MRI.
  • Walk in, stand up during the scan
    and 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 Gradients™ for quiet scans
Patient Comfort When Using The Stand-Up MRI.
Position MRI™ (pMRI™)
  • 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.
Position MRIT (pMRIT)
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
