DOTmed: Any final thoughts? What this means to our patients is wide open comfort. The benefits start with three times more space than what a patient would experience in a cylindrical MRI system. This enhances patient comfort and claustrophobia is greatly reduced. In addition to this benefit, the expansive opening also allows for easy visual contact between the patient and the operator. Weight is also no longer a problem - the Panorama Open MRI can accommodate patients weighing up to 550 lbs.
The Panorama is the most clinically effective open high-field MRI system made today. You experience the openness of the Panorama 1.0T. Your physician is rewarded with unmatched image quality.
