GE Optima MR430s 1.5T MRI Scanner

The Optima MR430s offers an extremely surprising experience.

• Extremely compact, surprisingly powerful. While the Optima MR430s is small and efficient, its 1.5T magnet provides radiologists with the high-quality images they demand.
• Extremely comfortable, surprisingly clear. With its innovative design, the Optima MR430s offers an improved MR experience for patients and a more efficient and simpler one for technologists—all with the consistency and clarity of a 1.5T system.
• Extremely valuable, surprisingly affordable. As an addition to a busy radiology department, the Optima MR430s can relieve patient backlogs to boost department throughput—offering healthcare providers a smart investment at a low total cost-of-ownership.

The Optima MR430s delivers a combination that radiologists have always wanted: a specialty musculoskeletal MR system with a 1.5T magnet. Now they can request precise acquisitions of the arm, including elbow, wrist and hand; or the leg, including knee, ankle and foot—and get the image quality and consistency they expect from a more powerful, conventional MR system.

• Industry-leading gradients deliver 70mT/m of power and 300T/m/s of slew rate.
• Short echo spacing and high signal-to-noise ratio enable high resolution and sharp images.
• The system’s design ensures that the targeted anatomy is precisely positioned at the magnet’s isocenter, and coil proximity increases signal-to-noise ratio for high clarity—even in small anatomies. In addition, the proximity of a coil adapted to the targeted anatomy increases signal-to-noise ratio with rich clinical information.
• A footprint as small as 222 square feet (20.65 square meters) allows for easy siting and lower installation costs, while the lightweight < 900 lb (408 kg) magnet fits through most elevators and standard doors.
• Six iso-centric dedicated RF coils (ranging from 80 mm to 180 mm in inner diameter) can accommodate a wide range of patient sizes, from smaller patients to larger athletes and anatomies.
