High Field MR
Our 1.5 Tesla Marconi Eclipse is a short bore design which enables us to image
claustrophobic patients from the waist down while their head is outside of the
actual magnet. The new 1.5T Eclipse delivers unparalleled clinical performance
with a short bore and large patient aperture.The Eclipse system is available at
our Edgewood facility. It is designed
for new and emerging applications such as Advanced Neuro Imaging for Stroke
Assessment, Contrast Enhanced Vascular Imaging, and Advanced Cardiovascular
Imaging.
In addition to the Marconi Eclipse, KDC now offers the newest and shortest high
field magnet in the world. The new Ultra Short Bore Marconi Infinion magnet is
1.5 Tesla and is 20% shorter than the Eclipse. KDC was chosen by Marconi
Medical Systems Inc. to perform Beta testing on this magnet prior to
international distribution. KDC was the second installation in the world, and
is the only facility in the tri-state area to offer this magnet. The Infinion,
like the Eclipse, is capable of performing all advanced, high detail,
applications that are clinically available. Our new site in Hebron, KY
also houses a Marconi 1.5 Tesla Infinion scanner.
The GE Signa Horizon LX 1.0 Tesla (seen opposite) is also available at our
Alexandia facility. This Short Bore GE magnet is the only GE installation in
Northen Kentucky.
This magnet, like the high field magnets at Edgewood, are capable of imaging
structures as small as 1mm. The GE Signa combines patient comfort along with
high field, high detail imaging.
