Overview
Esaote, Market Leader In MSK MRI Systems
Musculoskeletal MRI the second most requested MRI study behind neuro imaging. Esaote’s focus is MSK MRI and we have become the world leader in that area. Esaote systems are used daily in many clinics and hospitals all over the world for routine clinical use as well as for research. Esaote systems are unique as they are extremely easy to use and combine excellent image quality with optimum patient comfort.
Efficiency With S-scan
S-scan is an efficient MRI system that’s easy to use, with simple patient workflow that cost-effectively delivers outstanding image quality. Its open design and real-time image display on the gantry facilitates fast and easy patient positioning. With DICOM worklist, network integration, and no cryogens, S-scan’s small footprint makes MRI efficient and cost effective, whether you perform one or twenty examinations per day.

Siting
S-scan Easy To Install And Maintain
S-scan is a “one room” MRI system which means that the complete system, magnet, electronics and console
can be installed in a single room of only 20 m2(238 ft2).
- S-scan is based on an optimized permanent magnet so no cryogens and no complicated cooling systems are required.
- Patented, light-weight pavilion style RF shielding can be independently installed without any additional construction or renovation.
S-scan Compact Configuration
The S-scan also offers a compact configuration (optional) for smaller installation sites. A specially designed compact bed is provided, which can be accommodated in an RF pavilion of just 9 m2(100 sq ft).
