Home / Care Centres / Our Technology / Open MRI

Open MRI, is a revolutionary medical imaging technology that offers patients a more comfortable and spacious experience compared to traditional closed MRI machines. With its open design, patients no longer feel confined or claustrophobic during the procedure, making it ideal for individuals with anxiety or discomfort in enclosed spaces.

Moreover, Open MRI provides exceptionally clear and detailed images of the body's internal structures, allowing healthcare professionals to diagnose and monitor various medical conditions with precision. This patient-friendly innovation in medical imaging represents a significant advancement in healthcare, ensuring a stress-free and effective diagnostic process for all.

- Wide table accommodates painfree positioning
- SoftSound^™ gradient technology reduces acoustic noise
- Constant two-way communication system provides reassurance
- Motion-compensated RADAR translates into excellent diagnostic sequences even with difficult patients
- Custom pads provide comfort and stability during scans
KINDNESS MEETS TECHNOLOGY
Bariatric patients face enough struggles in their daily lives. Undergoing a diagnostic imaging procedure should not be one of them. Velocity uses its high weight capacity, wide and comfortable patient table, and unlimited lateral opening to deliver comfortable, high-quality MRI exams to patients of size.

Velocity Advantages
- Industry-best table capacity of 660lb (300kg) accomodates diverse patient population
- Wide patient table of 32in (82cm) places anatomy comfortably at iso-center for optimal SNR
- 3-axis motorized lateral table movement provides convenience
- Table lowers to 20in (51cm) for easy accessibility
- Sensitive multichannel RF coil technology adjusts to all patients
COMFORT FROM A CHILD’S PERSPECTIVE
Most kids who walk into your facility are unnerved by the big loud machine and the unfamiliar process of being scanned. The experience can be intimidating and frightening to even the bravest of children. That’s what makes Velocity so ideal for young patients. Its open architecture allows caregivers to be by their side the entire time.

Velocity Advantages
- Motion compensation technology reduces need for repeat scans
- Fast scanning and iterative processing techniques keep study time to a minimum
- Halo coil delivers quality imaging and an all-around view
- SoftSound gradient technology reduces acoustic noise
IDEAL FOR THE INFIRM
Many senior patients have physical and mental limitations that can make a closed MRI exam a challenge. Velocity eradicates these obstacles. The adjustable table allows them to get on and off with ease. And because it can move laterally as well, your patients can be positioned perfectly without having to maintain awkward and uncomfortable positions.

Velocity Advantages
- Table lowers to 20in (51cm) for easy accessibility
- In-bore lateral movement simplifies iso-center positioning for all extremities
- Motion-compensated RADAR translates into excellent diagnostic sequences even with difficult patients
- SoftSound gradient technology reduces acoustic noise
- Novel blanket coils allow for quick positioning
GO FASTER FOR YOUR PATIENTS
High field resolution and stellar diagnostic performance raises the bar on image quality. Standard IP-RAPID technology combines parallel imaging, sparse sampling, and iterative processing to reduce exam time and boost resolution. Blanket coils and workflow engineered integrated coil technology expedite the imaging process. Patient positioning is a snap. And the streamlined user interface and automatic integrated coil element selection enable technologists to quickly maximize patient throughput.

Velocity Advantages
- 3-axis motorized lateral table movement provides convenience
- Sensitive multi-channel RF coil technology adjusts to all patients
- IP-RAPID iterative processing and sparse sampling reduce scan time
MANAGE THE DEMANDING STUDIES
With features including its laterally moving table that allows for easy iso-center positioning every time, Velocity is well suited for breast and musculoskeletal exams.

Velocity Advantages
- Breast coil’s high resolution imaging promotes diagnoses and interventions
- Unique lateral table movement puts extremities at patient’s side with excellent fat suppression
- Fast dynamic (TIGRE) high resolution sequence delivers 3D fat saturated bilateral coverage
- Higher Order Active Shimming (HOAST) and regional shimming deliver optimal RF fat saturation
