G-SCAN

The G-SCAN is an excellent open musculoskeletal MRI system that scans all joints including the spine. That means that the G- SCAN is capable of covering almost 100% of all MRI examinations. With a unique open and tilting design, the gantry can be rotated to move the patient into a true weight-bearing position. From lying down to standing up in a natural weight-bearing position, the G-SCAN provides two points of view to aid in fast and accurate diagnosis for the spine. In addition to the spine, the G-SCAN also provides scans for all other joints, making the G-SCAN a cost-effective and economical solution for clinics and hospitals alike.

Additional features include:

• An open design for maximum patient comfort reduces anxiety and eliminates all claustrophobic effects
• Instant Automatic Positioning where the MRI moves the patient and coil into the isocentre
• Simple push-button of joint under examination
• Superb image quality
• Receiving coils specially designed for the joints, includes a knee coil, a wrist/hand coil, and an ankle/foot coil which are all Dual Phased Array
• Optional multipurpose flexible coil that can be shaped for hip and shoulder exams
• Can be installed in a single room of only 27 mq.
• No cryogens or complicated cooling systems required
• A fully-multitasking interface provides advanced image post processing capabilities such as a real time multi-planar reformatting
