High-Field Performing Open MRI
The Elite offers contrast well suited for chest and cardiac imaging of structures such as fat, muscle, lung, and flowing blood. Cardiac gating techniques provide motion-free imaging for diagnosis of vascular, as well as non-vascular, pathology by capturing the images at the same point throughout the cardiac cycle. A variation of this technique enables cardiac structures to be obtained in a cine format for evaluation of the dynamics of blood flow, cardiac valves, and cardiac wall motion. Dual-angle oblique capabilities, along with pulse sequences designed to accentuate flowing blood, allow imaging of the cardiac chambers in the long and short axis. The Elite's images are also beneficial for evaluation of the thymus and disease processes of the thoracic inlet due to the lack of bone artifacts typically associated with CT scanning.
