Open MRI Machine

Overview

Iconic Radiology Services offers refurbished GE 1T Open MRI Machines for hospitals, diagnostic centres and healthcare facilities looking for reliable MRI technology at a cost-effective investment. A 1 Tesla Open MRI Machine uses a magnetic field, radiofrequency energy and advanced computer processing to create detailed images of internal body structures. The open MRI configuration provides a more accessible imaging environment and can be particularly useful where patient comfort and reduced feelings of confinement are important considerations.

Key Features

• Brain and Neurological Imaging

  MRI can provide detailed images of the brain and associated structures.

• Spine Imaging

  The system can assist in imaging the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, including vertebrae, discs, spinal cord and surrounding soft tissues.

• Musculoskeletal Imaging

  MRI provides strong soft-tissue contrast and can be used to evaluate muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons and cartilage.

• Abdominal Imaging

  Depending on system capabilities, MRI can be used to examine abdominal structures including the liver, kidneys and other soft tissues.

• Pelvic Imaging

  MRI can provide detailed visualization of pelvic anatomy and surrounding soft tissues.

• Joint Imaging

  MRI can assist in evaluating areas such as the knee, shoulder, ankle, wrist and other joints for structural abnormalities and soft-tissue conditions.

• Magnetic Field Generation

  The MRI magnet generates a strong magnetic field that aligns hydrogen nuclei present naturally in the human body.

• Radiofrequency Excitation

  Radiofrequency pulses are transmitted into the body, temporarily changing the alignment of the hydrogen nuclei.
