DOHA: Aspetar has installed a scanner specifically designed to be patient-friendly, to transform the overall Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) experience.
It is the first hospital in Qatar to possess a machine that provides a wide range of advanced clinical functions and uncompromised image quality.
Salwa Allenjawi, Director of Radiology at Aspetar, said, “The exceptional design of the device accommodates patients who are usually difficult to scan, including claustrophobic or severely injured patients. It does this through a detachable table, equipped with a comfort tilt, which helps to better position the shoulders, knees and spinal cord during examinations. This feature is intended to help improve comfort as well as reduce patient movement for improved image quality”.
Additionally, the device is equipped with a new suite of lightweight high-density flexible coils to accommodate athletes of various shapes and sizes. These coils eliminate the need for patients to fit into a shell incompatible with their body type.
