RSNA 2024: ASG Superconductors Features MROpen EVO 

ASG Superconductors highlights its MROpen EVO, a new MRI system designed for joints, neuro, and spine imaging at RSNA 2024 at Booth2445 in Chicago.

Scott Boulas, Country Manager of ASG Superconductors USA, declares: “In my discussions with Healthcare Administrators and Radiologists across North America, there is a growing interest and enthusiasm for MROpen EVO’s unique capabilities. The growing movement is to complement other high field MRI assets especially in MSK and complex Ortho cases. I am sensing a ground swell of confidence in our technology.”

The system features an open design for children, larger and claustrophobic patients. MROpen EVO’s technical features are all FDA-approved. This latest version of the Helium-free MgB2-based MRI scanner provides an equal-quality image and a scan time reduced by up to 50%.

It includes a new image acquisition algorithm based on the Compressed Sensing technique, which merges parallel imaging concepts with sparse data sampling and iterative reconstruction to shorten scan time and improve resolution. The technique can be used in 2D and 3D sequences for all anatomies.

3D scans benefit from higher scan-time reduction. The isotropic 3D-T1 scan of the brain with a voxel size of 1.3mm can be completed in four minutes.
