Breaking New Ground in Mobile Imaging

In the ever-evolving landscape of medical imaging, Interim Diagnostic Imaging (IDI), in collaboration with Modular Devices, has recently unveiled a significant advancement: the first-ever 10' x 48' mobile MRI scanner. This innovative scanner is set to revolutionize the mobile imaging industry, offering enhanced space and capabilities.

A Game-Changer in Mobile MRI Technology

Unveiling this remarkable scanner, IDI and Modular Devices are addressing a longstanding need for more space in mobile MRI trailers. Traditionally, mobile MRI units have been confined to a width of 8 feet, limiting operational efficiency. However, the new 10-foot-wide unit not only offers an increased working area but also enhances patient comfort significantly.

This model, which will be showcased at the upcoming RSNA Annual Meeting in Chicago from December 1-4, 2024, at Booth #1569, features increased dimensions that facilitate better workflow processes and patient interactions. With this additional 2 feet of width, healthcare professionals can enjoy a 25% larger workspace compared to conventional models.

Enhanced Features for Better Experience

The upgrades introduced in the new mobile MRI scanner are substantial. Key features include:

• - Larger Patient Changing Area: The new layout allows for MRI-safe gurneys and improves the overall patient experience by providing a more comfortable space.
• - Expanded Control Room Space: Staff will benefit from a larger area to work efficiently—vital in high-demand or urgent environments.
• - Improved Safety and Accessibility: The additional space around the imaging table allows for easier and safer patient positioning during scans.
• - Streamlined Deployment: The innovative design eliminates the need for time-consuming modular building permits, resulting in a rapid and straightforward deployment process.

State-of-the-Art Imaging Technology

At the heart of the mobile MRI scanner is the Siemens Aera 1.5T MRI system. Known for its superior imaging quality, the Aera utilizes a 70 cm open bore and advanced coil configurations, accommodating various imaging applications from routine scans to complex diagnostic needs. The inclusion of a Siemens OEM service agreement guarantees reliable performance, essential in busy medical environments.

Flexibility to Fit Healthcare Needs

Recognizing that healthcare demands can vary, IDI and Modular Devices have designed this mobile solution with flexibility in mind. Healthcare facilities, regardless of size, can opt for short- or long-term rental agreements, quickly scaling their imaging capabilities without long-term commitments. This agility ensures healthcare providers maintain high-quality service while adapting to changing needs.

The Future Looks Bright

Mark Koers, CEO of Modular Devices, stated, "With over 40 years of experience as a provider in mobile imaging solutions, we pride ourselves on innovation. We've listened closely to our customers’ feedback and have designed a first-of-its-kind 10' wide mobile MRI that enhances workflow and prioritizes patient comfort."

Industry professionals attending RSNA 2024 will have the opportunity to tour the new mobile MRI unit, exploring its innovative features and experiencing firsthand the impact of additional workspace in patient care.
