Philips Panorama 1.0T HFO

Description

The refurbished Philips Panorama 1.0T  MRI machine is an open MR imaging system with a unique 360-degree panoramic viewing angle and 160 cm-wide patient aperture. The open design is for increased patient comfort, particularly for those with claustrophobic issues.

The used Panorama MRI uses Philips’ popular FreeWave data acquisition, SENSE parallel acquisition, and Exam Cards. All of these technologies were made popular by the Achieva series of MRI machines from Philips.

Philips Panorama 1.0T HFO MRI Machine Review

Some consider the image quality of this 1.0 Tesla magnet on the Panorama to be equivalent in image quality to that of a 1.5 Tesla cylindrical system. Also, the Panorama borrows many of the advanced technologies found on the high-end Achieva MR systems from Philips.
