MRI Las Vegas Radiology announces the state of the art Siemens’ MAGNETOM Espree™ 1.5 Telsa OPEN-BORE MRI. Most open MRI scanners sacrifice magnet strength to provide more space for patients. The more space open MRI scanners provide, the weaker the magnet becomes reducing the field strength below .6 Telsa. With the new Siemens Espree 1.5 Telsa Open Bore scanner, both patients and doctors can benefit from comfort and image quality. Benefits of the new Siemens Espree at Las Vegas Radiology More Headroom Patients enjoy generous face space – about a foot above their nose. There’s also more elbow room – more than 27 inches from side to side for a more comfortable shoulder, chest or upper abdomen scan. Friendly for Everyone It is possible for you to hold your child's hand for comfort and assurance. Starting and finishing the exam is as easy as lying down and getting up from your couch. Most exams will be conducted with the patients head completely outside the equipment. Shorter Exam Times The more powerful 1.5 Tesla magnet offers shorter exam times, which means you’re in and out in no time. Better Quality for More Patients For obese patients, the Espree now offers the quality exam they require, but could not get before. With up to four times more power over low-field open magnets, obese patients now have access to a full-service MRI. Also the Espree's table is capable of handling 550 lbs
