Optima™ MR450w
The world of MR
is always changing.
Patient expectations of MR have shifted in recent years,
as people have begun demanding a better, more comfortable scanning experience. Increasing the size of the
bore is a good first step — but it’s only the beginning.
The right system should overcome traditional
limitations of wide-bore MR, offering both excellent
images and a user-friendly experience. Patients should
be more comfortable during their scan, and clinicians
more comfortable in making a definitive diagnosis. All
the while, organizations should expect their MR system
to help them deliver solid financial returns, maintain
a high standard of patient safety, and increase the
quality of their care.
Today, the right way has arrived.
The Optima MR450w is
wide-bore MR done right.
Thanks to cutting-edge technologies, we’ve advanced the capabilities of
wide-bore MR by delivering both uncompromised image quality and high
productivity — all with an expansive 50cm field of view.
But it’s about more than the bore. Built on a fully redesigned MR platform,
the Optima MR450w offers a range of advanced new functionality, making
it a workhorse system for practices of all sizes and specialties.
It is also extremely accessible. Its cost and capabilities make it a great
choice for first-time MR customers who can make it their only scanner,
as well as established MR users seeking a versatile, hard-working system.
Its 1.5T field strength is the industry’s best-known and most-used. And
its bore diameter and field of view make MR scans accessible to more
patients who need them.
The Optima MR450w is the right MR system in so many ways.

MR platform have been applied in the
from advanced technologies…
Redesigned magnet
A completely new 145cm long magnet
is designed to ensure uniform tissue
contrast in a patient-friendly space.
eXtreme gradients
Strong whole-body gradients deliver
34 mT/m amplitude and 150 T/m/s slew
rate on each axis, yielding scans that are
fast, accurate, and highly reproducible.
OpTix RF digital receiver
An exclusive optical RF system
increases signal clarity and maximizes
signal intensity for clean, crisp images.
Anatomy-optimized RF coils
High-density coils focus elements
around the anatomy of interest and
provide extended coverage where
needed, for optimal image quality in
virtually every procedure.
…come powerful abilities.
Large field of view
With a 50cm field of view, you can cover
more anatomy in fewer scans.
Unmatched breast imaging
Thanks to applications like IDEAL and
VIBRANT-FLEX, no comparable solution
can capture so much so well.
Two-station whole-spine imaging
Acquire an entire spine in a fraction of
the time — and with multiple contrasts.
Holistic Liver Assessment
An industry first, MR-Touch opens up
new opportunities for care by identifying
variations in liver tissue stiffness.
3-D Arterial Spin Labeling (3D ASL)
Generate a full-coverage, high-SNR 3D
image of the brain, great for evaluating
cerebrovascular conditions such as stroke.
Express patient table
A fully removable table minimizes
time between scans to help boost
productivity.
Acoustic Reduction Technology
Reduce an acquisition’s acoustic noise
with virtually no compromise to image
quality.

Growing your offerings —
and your practice
Along with these capabilities, the system’s wider bore
opens up additional pathways for diagnosis and treatment.
Greater patient positioning freedom and access enables
interventional procedures. Such procedures give practices
new ways to care for patients, opening new opportunities
for increased patient referrals.

The right
experience —
for patients
The Optima MR450w comes with a 70cm bore,
offering a more comfortable experience for
your patients — especially larger individuals,
children, and those prone to claustrophobia.
And the improved patient experience goes
beyond the bore — next-generation clinical
applications help reduce exam time and
improved patient comfort features result in
a cooler, quieter experience.

A work of ART
Acoustic Reduction Technology delivers a quieter
patient experience.
The right MR experience goes beyond bore size
and positioning — patients today are also demanding
a quieter MR acquisition. New Acoustic Reduction
Technology (ART) delivers just that, reducing acoustic
noise.
ART is a highly useful application that’s usable in brain,
spine and MSK scans. And because ART reduces noise
by optimizing the gradient performance, there’s virtually
no compromise to image quality.
Image B, captured at the same
resolution and scan time as
image A, was acquired using
ART. The acquisition was 10 dBA
quieter — with virtually no
compromise to image quality.

Express Patient Table
Transfer patients once to improve throughput.
Easily docked and undocked by a single technologist,
the Express detachable patient table helps improve
workflow and efficiency by minimizing time between
scans. It allows for faster patient positioning accuracy
compared to fixed table designs, and can support up
to 500 lbs.
Patients are able to prep in private, and single transfers
of patients directly onto the MR table create a more
comfortable patient experience. In the event of an
emergency, just one technologist can typically undock
the table and safely transport the patient out of the
room in under 30 seconds.
Beyond productivity, the table enables new kinds
of growth for your practice, including interventional
radiology and advanced breast imaging.

The right experience —
for technologists
Staying on schedule has an added benefit — it may help increase
the job satisfaction of technologists, aiding in their retention.
This can help enable administrators to hold onto talent longer,
saving on turnover and training costs.
