The Optima MR430s
The Optima MR430s from GE Healthcare is a specialty MRI scanner available for patients needing an exam of the arm, including elbow, wrist and hand, or the leg, including knee, ankle and foot. It is designed to be more comfortable for these types of scans than a full-body MRI, but provides the same image quality available with a
whole-body MRI system.
You can relax on a padded chair beside the scanner, reclining comfortably, much like you would in your favorite chair at home. Because you sit next to the scanner, your experience may not only provide a more comfortable exam, but also less anxiety if you have concerns about going into a full-body MRI. And, because you're more relaxed and less prone to moving around, the resulting images are likely to be even more clear and consistent, which means doctors can be more confident in their diagnosis.
