Esaote O-Scan
Modality: Open / Extremity MRI
Dedicated extremity MRI — patient sits in a chair or on a stool while the limb is placed in a small-bore permanent-magnet scanner. Targets orthopedic practices that want in-office MRI for wrist, elbow, knee, ankle, and foot without occupying a full MRI suite.
Variant-specific considerations
- 0.31T permanent magnet
- Extremity-only — cannot image torso / head / spine
- Low facility requirements: standard electrical, no RF shielded cage, no cryogen management
- Installed in orthopedic practices, MSK specialty clinics, sports-medicine centers
Parts
Compact permanent magnet, dedicated extremity coils, gradient and RF chain, positioning chair / bench.
