Esaote Unveils the Next Generation Vet-MR Grande ELITE
Esaote, a pioneering company in the field of medical imaging, recently unveiled its groundbreaking veterinary MRI system, the Vet-MR Grande ELITE, at the ECVS 2025. This annual congress, held from July 3-5 in Antwerp, Belgium, is a key platform for veterinary professionals, where cutting-edge advancements in veterinary medicine are celebrated. At the Esaote booth, No. 32, the company demonstrated how this innovative MRI system is set to transform veterinary diagnostics.
Developed following decades of experience and in collaboration with top veterinary clinics globally, the Vet-MR Grande ELITE is a revolutionary imaging solution suited for both small animals and equines. It addresses the ever-evolving market demands for advanced imaging technologies, workflows, and features.
"At Esaote, understanding our customers' needs is paramount, driving our innovations forward," stated Erminio Bassi, Business Manager at Esaote Vet. He emphasized that the Vet-MR Grande ELITE builds upon the proven success of its predecessor, incorporating smarter technologies, sustainability, and a range of advancements aimed at enhancing veterinary imaging standards. With the goal of providing outstanding image quality and facilitating clearer, more reliable diagnoses, the Vet-MR Grande ELITE ensures that veterinary professionals are equipped with state-of-the-art tools.
A significant feature of this advanced system is its AI-driven platform called e-SPADES, developed collaboratively with AIRS Medical. This platform enhances image reconstruction and scanning efficiency, allowing for reduced exam times compared to traditional methods while delivering exceptional image quality. The new Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) sequence is particularly noteworthy, as it significantly improves neurological examinations by enabling better detection of brain infarcts, strokes, and brain tumors, assisting in their classification and ongoing monitoring.
Designed specifically for veterinary practice, the Vet-MR Grande ELITE offers an intuitive interface tailored to animal anatomy, including species-specific tools and protocols developed by experts. Its open design, spacious patient table, and specialized coils facilitate quick and comfortable patient positioning while also simplifying anesthesia management.
Thanks to its compact and energy-efficient construction, the Vet-MR Grande ELITE presents a sustainable and cost-effective solution operated with a standard power supply, making advanced MRI examinations accessible for practices ranging from small clinics to large referral centers.
As a prominent provider of medical imaging systems, including ultrasound, MRI, and diagnostic process management software, Esaote continues to focus on innovation, growth, and enhancing the quality of veterinary care. The company, which employed around 1,300 personnel as of late 2024, has a significant presence in over 100 countries worldwide, with its headquarters in Genoa and Florence, Italy.
