The UPRIGHT® MRI is intended for use as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD) that produces axial, sagittal, coronal, and oblique cross sectional images of the human body. The UPRIGHT® MRI enables acquisition of Magnetic Resonance (MR) images of the human body in an open di-pole magnet that accommodates a wide variety of static and dynamic patient postures, for example, sitting; standing; upright flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation; and recumbent. When interpreted by a trained physician, the resultant MR images can yield diagnostically useful information.
A diagnostic general-purpose magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system designed to scan any targeted area of the body (full-body imaging). It includes a resistive magnet assembly and can be fixed-location, mobile, or transportable. In addition to producing conventional MR images, it can be modified through the addition of software/hardware modules to perform MR spectroscopy and various real-time imaging procedures necessary for physiologically gated imaging procedures, or MRI mammography and other MRI guided interventional, therapeutic, or surgical applications. It is available in various gantry configurations, e.g. Closed bore, open bore, open-sided or other patient accessible designs.
