S-scan boasts the following system features and capabilities:

• Maintenance-free open permanent magnet
• 0.25 Tesla field strength
• Stand-alone system with small foot print, can be installed in a single room of 18 m²
• Low Power Consumption: less than 3 Kw in normal 220/110V power outlet
• Ergonomic rotating patient table with 200 kg capacity
• Complete set of dedicated optimized coils
• All imaging sequences used in MSK settings
• Full set of pre-defined sequences and protocols
• User defined sequences and customized examination protocols
• Multi planar scout
• Extensive image viewing, analysis and elaboration tools
• Remote Service Capability
• Includes eXP Technology package (optional) for faster and better MR imaging

S-scan: Easy Patient Access

Easy patient access is one of the features that distinguishes the S-scan as an ideal system for more advanced applications such as MRI arthrography. The wide opening and compact magnet provide easy access to the patient.

S-scan: Open Gantry And Rotating Table

S-scan features a very wide, asymmetric rotating table. This wide table not only makes patient positioning very easy, it also gives maximum stability and comfort to the patient for an easy setup and better images.

S-scan: Real-Time Positioning

Fast, error free positioning is facilitated by the real-time image display on the system gantry.

S-scan Brio: Intuitive User Interface

Because it uses Windows^®, S-scan is easy to learn and use. With a user interface and protocols custom designed for musculoskeletal imaging, exams are fast and simple to perform. Expert users can personalize all scanning parameters and customer sequences can be stored and integrated in the normal menu structure for subsequent use.

• Intuitive user interface: easy to use Windows^® based user interface;
• A complete software package: supplied with an extensive range of tools to process, display and analyze images.

Room Siting requirements

S-scan Easy To Install And Maintain

S-scan is a “one room” MRI system which means that the complete system, magnet, electronics and console
can be installed in a single room of only 20 m² (238 ft²).

• S-scan is based on an optimized permanent magnet so no cryogens and no complicated cooling systems are required.
• Patented, light-weight pavilion style RF shielding can be independently installed without any additional construction or renovation.

S-scan Compact Configuration

The S-scan also offers a compact configuration (optional) for smaller installation sites. A specially designed compact bed is provided, which can be accommodated in an RF pavilion of just 9 m² (100 sq ft).

Connectivity

S-scan: Connected To MSK Needs

S-scan comes with comprehensive network, archiving and documentation features to work either stand alone or as part of an integrated environment. As a stand-alone scanner, S-scan has an integrated DVD archive and retrieve software package, printer output facility and a patient-CD package. As a networked system, Sscan ?is DICOM compliant, and offers smart solutions for connectivity to your PACS and teleradiology.
