Advanced MRI Solution Cuts Scan Time in Half

A feature called VitalScreen offers operators fully guided patient setup, with a newly designed interface for workflow optimization.

In addition, VitalEye technology and algorithms process over 200 body locations in parallel to intelligently extract signs of breathing, enabling respiratory signal detection without any interaction from the operator helping to reduces the number of rescans by 70%. Other features include Ambient Experience and an in-bore Connect solution, which provide an immersive audio-visual experience to calm patients and guide them through MRI exams, further improving the patient experience.
