S-scan — Esaote magnetic resonance imaging for musculoskeletal diagnostics

Application

A solution for radiology, orthopedics, rheumatology, and sports medicine departments.

Which examinations is it for

The system is dedicated to examinations of the limbs, joints, and spine. It also performs well in pediatric examinations.

Cost-effectiveness of purchase

Single-phase 230V power supply. Low installation costs, no fixed costs related to cooling the device. The system does not require helium cooling.

The S-scan MRI is a magnetic resonance imaging system whose application covers the entire musculoskeletal system — from feet to shoulders, and the spine. MSK examinations are the second most frequently performed among MRI examinations. Thanks to low installation and operating costs, the system provides high cost-effectiveness.

The magnetic resonance imaging system is equipped with the latest measurement sequences, which ensure high imaging quality. Thanks to its special construction, the S-scan system can be installed in a small room. The system is supplied with a special, lightweight Faraday cage made of innovative materials. Thanks to its structure, it uses the existing lighting and air conditioning, reducing installation costs and time.

General characteristics

• A good price relative to the capabilities offered
• A complete device with a Faraday cage
• The minimum installation space is just 12 m2.
• Thanks to its low energy consumption (less than 3 kW), the system can be connected to a standard electrical socket.
• A set of self-centering high-sensitivity coils with automatic recognition of the connected coil
• An efficient and intuitive user interface
• Real-time imaging that enables fast and effective positioning and examination setup
• A complete set of pre-programmed protocols and sequences that can be modified and stored as "presets" for later use
• An asymmetric design using a rotating patient table.
• A wide table that facilitates patient positioning and provides stability and comfort even for obese patients — it allows examination of patients up to 200 kg
• Easy patient access facilitating advanced examinations: MRI arthrography, shoulder instability, wrist lesions
• No claustrophobia constraints
• Thanks to its open technology, the S-scan is a good solution for diagnosing small patients — a parent can be with the child during the examination

Why the S-scan

The S-scan is an attractive alternative for physicians whose practice is limited to MSK examinations, including the spine. It performs well as a second MRI system alongside a traditional closed high-field system.

Optimal economy

A favorable quality-to-price ratio, a low break-even threshold (about 3 patients a day).

Simple to use

An intuitive interface, easy to operate also for less experienced operators. A sequence enabling fast positioning thanks to real-time imaging. Dedicated, advanced protocols.

Low room adaptation costs

The cost of an examination consists solely of energy costs (as much as an average electric kettle). The single-phase power supply does not require modifications to the installation, as is the case with high-field MRI, and cooling is provided by air (standard air conditioners).

Check the differences

Dedicated S-scan magnetic resonance imaging vs. high-field magnetic resonance imaging

• single-phase power supply
• no need to interfere with the existing installation
• does not require power modifications, as is the case with high-field MRI
• low examination cost — only energy costs (as much as an average electric kettle)
• low service costs — only calibration costs
• low room adaptation costs — external Faraday cage

• The need to create a separate 3-phase power supply with 100A protection
• the need to replace (replenish) the cooling agent
• an electromagnet requiring servicing at specified intervals — high costs
• high service costs
• high room adaptation costs (the need to build a Faraday cage and specialized air conditioning during room adaptation)

eXP Technology

Check the technologies found in the S-scan

• True Motion — enables real-time imaging of moving joints. The entire sequence can be saved in the popular .avi format, so the video can be played on almost any device.
• MAR Metal Artifact Reduction — software enabling the reduction of image artifacts originating from metal implants.
• 3D Viewer — an advanced viewer for 3D images created through acquisition using 3D isotropic sequences.
• 2D/3D Speed Up — software that, using mathematical algorithms, allows the acquisition and image reconstruction time to be reduced by up to 30% in 2D mode and as much as 50% in 3D mode, compared with the standard imaging mode.
• Isotropic 3D — advanced imaging of three-dimensional isotropic sequences that makes it possible to combine Speed Up technology (fast acquisition of high-resolution 3D images) with advanced 3D image reconstruction techniques — MPR. In a single acquisition, we obtain a high-quality image in all three planes.
• 3D Sharc — a three-dimensional sequence dedicated to high-resolution imaging of cartilage tissue.
