Product Description: The Hitachi SMILE 0.7T Open MRI is a specialized diagnostic imaging system engineered to provide a superior patient experience without compromising on image quality. The system’s open architecture is a key feature, as it significantly reduces the claustrophobia and anxiety often associated with traditional closed-bore scanners. This makes it an excellent choice for a diverse patient population, including children, elderly patients, and those with larger body types. While “SMILE” may be a marketing name for an open MRI, it typically indicates a system with patient-friendly features. Systems like this are often equipped with a 0.7 Tesla superconducting magnet and a robust set of imaging applications, delivering clear, detailed images for orthopedic, neurological, and abdominal studies.
Key Features:
- Open Architecture: The spacious, open design enhances patient comfort and accessibility.
- Magnetic Field: Typically a 0.7 Tesla superconducting magnet, providing a balance of image quality and patient-friendly design.
