MR technology has continuously evolved over the last 25 years that I have been practicing MR. I saw the MR360 Advance system at RSNA 2012 in Chicago and was highly impressed with its digital broadband premium technology, enhanced applications and low total cost of ownership. I am happy that GE is introducing this system in India and also very delighted that Dr. O. P. Gupta Imaging Centre in Meerut will be the first adopter of this system in India” said Dr Harsh Mahajan, President of IRIA and Founder of Mahajan Imaging, New Delhi.
“I am proud to be the first adopter of MR360 Advance which is an exciting new technology. This will be a real boon to the referring physicians and patients of Meerut and surrounding regions. For MR scans, patients are afraid of two things – one is the scanning noise and second is the claustrophobia. MR360 Advance with its patient appealing design, Acoustic noise reduction technology, music system and adjustable patient table will be a boon to the patients. GE MR 360 Advance digital broadband MRI we have acquired will help us achieve excellent image quality, patient comfort and we will offer these enhanced services at no additional cost to the patient.
