The 1.5T MRI at The Imaging Center is better for patients. Artifact-ridden images and the need for re-scans are challenges for both physicians and patients, especially those who have difficulty holding still for long periods of time. Our MRI includes SubtleMR technology that improves the quality of these suboptimal scans. They also embody features such as: DirectDigital, FlexStream, and EasyExpand, as well as dStream, which is an exciting new MR system architecture that delivers crystal clear images, remarkable speed, and technology. Features of our state-of-the-art MRI include:
- 70 cm bore provides more space and helps to reduce anxiety
- Smart software to reduce retakes and increase consistency and exam speed
- Digital coil design greatly reduces coil weights and leads to less patient repositioning in many exams
- The ambient light ring on the magnet façade and adjustable, in-bore lighting enhance the openness of the system
- Patient-perceived gradient acoustic noise is reduced by more than 80%
- FlexStream workflow increases system versatility and throughput through better coil and patient management
