Esaote Launches Updated S-Scan Open MRI System
The update of the S-scan magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system reportedly offers an improved ergonomic design, algorithms to enhance image quality and reduced scan times.
Offering a variety of technological improvements to help facilitate optimal imaging and radiology workflows, Esaote has introduced the S-scan Open magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, an update to the company’s established S-scan MRI platform.
Esaote said the system’s combination of image acquisition and reconstruction capabilities through technologies such as SpeedUp and TR reduction enables clinicians to reduce artifacts, background noise and scan times. The combination of True-Motion technology with the S-scan Open MRI’s open magnet design allows one to capture real-time images of joint movements, according to Esaote.
The company adds that a complete set of RF coils, included with the S-scan Open MRI system, may facilitate improved spatial resolution, a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and maximum sensitivity to anatomies being imaged.
Esaote added that key ergonomic features of the MRI system include a wide asymmetric rotating table, which promotes easy setup as well as maximum comfort and stability with patient positioning.
‘With S-scan Open, we have relied on Esaote’s latest technology in terms of the hardware and software platform. It has been specifically reengineered to face the challenging requirements of musculoskeletal exams,” said Massimo Olmi, the MRI marketing director of Esaote.
Could Ultrafast MRI Enhance Detection of Malignant Foci for Breast Cancer?
April 10th 2025In a new study involving over 120 women, nearly two-thirds of whom had a family history of breast cancer, ultrafast MRI findings revealed a 5 percent increase in malignancy risk for each second increase in the difference between lesion and background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) time to enhancement (TTE).
MRI Study Suggests Shape of White Matter Hyperintensities May Be Predictive of Cognitive Decline
April 7th 2025Emerging research demonstrated that cognitive declines in memory, executive function and processing speed domains were associated with irregular shape of periventricular/confluent white matter hyperintensities.
