Clinical Neurological Imaging on an Open Bore MRI System (MAGNETOM Espree)

July 5, 2013 by
An open bore MRI has the practical advantage of accommodating large or claustrophobic patients. Unfortunately, until the advent of the 1.5T MAGNETOM Espree, “open” was often synonymous with inferior image quality. However, in addition to the large 70 centimeter bore, the Espree system offers advanced coil combinations using the Total imaging matrix (Tim) and isocenter imaging technology. Together, these features allow for performance of advanced neuroimaging protocols in new clinical populations. [...]
