The Open Standing MRI; The G-Scan
The G-scan is a revolutionary MRI platform for all musculoskeletal applications including the spine, which provides unique additional diagnostic elements. The open and tilting design is a new and innovative way of doing MRI in India which the position of the patient becomes an integral part of the outcome of the examination.
Imaging the spine in its natural, weight -bearing position has always been one of the targets and challenges of MRI development. There are significant bio-mechanical changes from the recumbent to the weight-bearing position, and several pathologies are affected by these mechanical changes. MR imaging of the spine in the natural standing position is therefore the most logical solution, and that is exactly how the G-Scan gives a better view.
- Flexible positioning and dedicated coils allow imaging of the ankle and foot with optimal comfort.

- Traumatic and degenerative lesions are accurately imaged with high spatial resolution.
- Knee Lateral patellar instability well highlighted in weight bearing exam.

- Knee OA In weight bearing the actual damage to the cartilage of the medial compartment is clear and the origin of the bone edema is well identified. The lesion to the medial collateral ligament is visible only in weight bearing.
