3 Tesla MRI Scanner with 70 cm Wide Bore – Unmatched Diagnostic Accuracy
In the world of medical imaging, MRI technology has advanced significantly to meet the needs of both patients and physicians. Among these advancements is the development of MRI machines with wide bores (70 cm) and high magnetic strength (3 Tesla). These specifications mark a qualitative leap in diagnostic accuracy and patient comfort.
Greater Patient Comfort
The 70 cm wide bore allows for a more comfortable scanning experience, especially for patients suffering from claustrophobia. It also facilitates easier access for larger patients, children, or those requiring sedation or assistive devices during imaging.
Superior Imaging Accuracy
With a magnetic strength of 3 Tesla, the scanner delivers high-resolution images, allowing for more precise diagnoses of complex conditions. This is especially ideal for imaging the brain, spinal cord, fine joints, and blood vessels.
Faster and More Efficient Scans
The 3 Tesla strength enables faster imaging without compromising image quality, reducing scan time and improving the overall patient experience. This is particularly important for patients who cannot lie still for long or require urgent diagnostics.
Comparison with Traditional MRI Devices
While many imaging centers still use 60 cm bore, 1.5 Tesla machines, newer systems with a 70 cm bore and 3 Tesla strength offer the dual advantage of patient comfort and diagnostic precision—especially valuable in complex or high-detail imaging cases.
Choosing the right MRI scanner depends not just on availability but also on patient comfort and diagnostic accuracy. With 70 cm wide bore and 3 Tesla strength, patients receive both comfort and high-quality medical care
Examinations Performed Using the 3 Tesla MRI:
1. Brain and Nervous System Imaging
- Detects brain tumors and fine tissue changes
- Diagnoses strokes and multiple sclerosis
- Functional MRI (fMRI) for mapping brain activity and planning surgeries
2. Spinal Imaging
- Assesses disc herniation and vertebral issues
- Detects nerve compression and spinal infections
3. Joint and Muscle Imaging
- Identifies ligament and cartilage tears (knee, shoulder, ankle)
- Evaluates sports injuries with high accuracy
4.Cardiac and Vascular Imaging (Cardiac MRI & MRA)
- Comprehensive evaluation of heart size, function, and wall motion
- Detects cardiomyopathy or fibrosis from prior heart attacks
- Diagnoses congenital heart diseases with high accuracy
- Assesses myocarditis and valve disorders
- Non-invasive imaging of coronary arteries and major vessels
- Arterial imaging without contrast – suitable for kidney patients or those with contrast allergies
5.Multiparametric Prostate MRI (mpMRI)
- Accurate assessment of the prostate using mpMRI technology
- Helps detect early-stage prostate cancer and determine its spread
- Guides biopsies and reduces unnecessary procedures
- Recognized globally in protocols like PI-RADS
6.Whole-Body MRI
- Full-body screening for early detection of tumors or subtle tissue changes
MRI relies on advanced technology that combines magnetic fields with high-performance computers to produce detailed internal images of the body.
