Esaote MRI Installation in U.S.

Esaote has announced the first U.S. installation of its G-scan Brio MRI system at Clinica Venamer in Miami, Florida.  

The G-scan Brio is a musculoskeletal MRI system that enables cost-effective, weight-bearing or ‘stand-up’ MRI, in one unit. The G-Scan Brio is suited for pathologies where a normal MRI appears negative, but where the patient experiences clinical symptoms. 

The G-scan Brio features breakthrough eXP technology which combines powerful GPU hardware with advanced software. The “one room” installation and compact, ergonomic design combined with the eXP technology, deliver more accurate image acquisition and reconstruction processing for improved image quality and diagnosis, whilst operating in compact spaces (23 m2).  In addition, examination times are reduced by as much as 40 per cent, while maintaining image quality, thus helping to improve patient satisfaction and comfort. 

A key advantage of the G-Scan Brio is its low operating costs at peak performance levels. The units have low maintenance and low power consumption, and require no expensive cryogens. 

Bill Conn, Director of MRI Marketing at Esaote North America said, “The G-scan Brio is the first MRI system that allows our customers to offer truly cost-effective, weight-bearing or stand-up MRI. With this installation of the G-scan Brio eXP, Clinica Vermaner is at the leading edge of the trend towards providing high-quality, cost-effective, weight-bearing MRI services.”
