A new magnetic resonance imaging system has been designed for the examination of all musculoskeletal applications. Posted on 12 Mar 2006
The technology, called G-scan, is a turning point in MR imaging from recumbent MRI to weight-bearing MRI. It is an excellent musculoskeletal MRI system for all joints including the spine, foot/ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, and hand/wrist. The gantry can be rotated to move the patient into a true weight-bearing position.
The open and tilting design allows the G-scan, developed by Esaote SpA (Genoa, Italy), allows the patient's position to become an essential part in the way in which the MRI scan is performed, as well as in the outcome. Imaging of the spine in its natural, weight-bearing standing position is now possible with this system, a truly one-room MRI unit. The console can easily be installed in a 27-m2 room, making is a suitable system for specialty clinics, and sport and orthopedic centers.
Esaote is a European manufacturer of medical diagnostic equipment, including extremity MRI and information technology systems.
