» Siemens MAGNETOM Espree 1.5T

To complement our state-of-art 1.5T Siemens Avanto, Cardinal MRI Center has acquired the country's first ultrashort open bore MRI system.

The Siemens Espree 1.5T 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. The magnet is designed to accommodate patients who find standard MRI system too confining.

• Superior resolution and 3x more powerful compared to open MRI
• Outstanding image quality; faster imaging time with extra-wide bore to accommodate patients up to 500 pounds and reduce claustrophobia
