Open MRI - 1.5 Tesla Siemens Espree

 1.5 Tesla Siemens Espree Open MRI represents a quantum leap in image quality and advanced applications over conventional lowfield and mid-field open MRI. The Espree Open MRI high-field magnet and sophisticated technology gives our specialists clearer images than other MRI units – and that means a more precise diagnosis for you and your doctor. 

High-definition images from the Espree Open MRI allows imaging of human internal organs with exact and non-invasive methods for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurological 

disorders and musculoskeletal conditions.

The new “wide open” design, which is the largest opening in the MRI industry, coupled with its high-field strength magnet makes our scanner the first 1.5 Tesla Open MRI in Pennsylvania and one of the first worldwide to accommodate patients regardless of height or weight. 

The scanner’s spaciousness and high performance result in faster, more comfortable procedures. This helps reduce anxiety and nearly eliminates that closed-in feeling. In fact, the majority of our MRI exams can now be performed with the patient’s head outside of the scanner.

The Siemens Espree 1.5 T Magnet MRI features a bore opening of nearly 2.3 feet in diameter and almost one foot of free space between a patient's head and the magnet.  The Espree also features the shortest 1.5 Tesla magnet available.  Approximately four feet long, the magnet allows more than 60 percent of exams to be completed with the patient's head outside the bore.

• Short bore design reduces feelings of claustrophobia
• Extra wide to accommodate patients up to 500 pounds
• 1.5 Tesla magnet for superior resolution compared to open MRI
• Outstanding image accuracy
• High resolution images in less time
• 3x more power than conventional open MRI
