Trivitron Launches An MRI System

EHM News Bureau - Mumbai

Neusoft Digital Medical System has successfully launched “NAM-P023A”- 0.23 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging system (MRI) through its associates M/S Trivitron in India. Trivitron has installed this flagship product at M S Ramaiah Medical College and Hospital in Bangalore.

“The NAM-P023A is currently the most compact C-shaped permanent magnet that meets routine clinical requirements. Optimised components integrate innovative high field technology and simplify workflows in hospitals and private practices. NAM-P023A Provides excellent image quality and high diagnostic certainty in a cost-effective package” said A B Sivasankar, General Manager of Trivitron Imaging Division.

With a diameter of only 140 centimetres, the magnet in the NAM-P023A is one of the most compact in its class. System advantages include high field technology and excellent image quality. In addition, the system is open on four sides. The side “entry” to the unit used for all examinations (except those for the head and neck) means the patient has a clear view in all directions. The patient table moves two dimensionally, ensuring that the region of interest is always at the centre of the magnet to obtain optimum image quality. The C-shaped design simplifies the examination for both the patients and hospital staff. Optimal access and easy examinations are possible even for obese patients.

The system is easy to operate, standardised software from Neusoft. Use of higher slew rate of 47mt/m/sec reduce our scan time by half. Standard configuration of NAM-P023A includes optimised protocols for all routine examination from Head to Toe. The high field technology enables the abdominal imaging for patients with out breathing. The high field technology is also used in the NAM-P023A for coils and RF channels The use of QD coils enhance the signal by 40 per cent and also enables faster examination. NAM-P023A comes along with seven standard coils which include breast coil in it. For the patient who is going for conservative breast surgery, MRI is a modality of choice to define the involvement of lesion.
