Why should I refer my patients to ALTY for Weight-bearing MRI?

It is specifically developed to perform musculoskeletal examinations. Unlike a multipurpose MRI, all aspects of the system, from coils to user interface, have been developed and optimized to perform musculoskeletal MRI examinations in the most efficient and comfortable way. The Weight-bearing MRI boasts advanced features and capabilities such as:

• Impressive image quality
• Open permanent magnet
• Rotating gantry
• Weight-Bearing: patient’s position becomes an integral part of the examination’s outcome
• Optimized, ergonomic patient bed for easy positioning and excellent comfort during exams
• Additional diagnostic capabilities: since the force of gravity generates bio-mechanical changes in anatomy, MR imaging in a natural, stand-up position allows us to attain important additional information compared to traditional MRI

As an orthopaedic-focused hospital, we adopt best-practices model with highly experienced surgeons and staff. Your patient will experience seamless scans and diagnostics.
