MRI 1.5 Tesla Silent Scanner uses powerful magnetic fields and radio frequency pulses to produce detailed pictures of organs, soft tissues, bone, and other internal body structures.
Silent Scanner is designed to capture the best possible diagnostic image quality while making the scan experience as pleasant as possible for the patient. It combines the benefits of wide bore and reduced MR scanner noise to near ambient sound.
