Why we love the Siemens Magnetom Avanto for VetMed

Veterinary speciality and referral practices come to us often looking to get a high-field MRI. They want to extend their practice offerings to neurology. The MRI is a necessary tool for a neurologist to reach maximum productivity for diagnosing and treating various neurological conditions. AnimalScan HIGHLY recommends this work horse MRI for veterinary neurological use. This scanner wins for speed, flexibility, and accuracy. The Avanto’s TIM (Total Image Matrix) technology makes scanning multiple regions at one time possible without repositioning between regions; ultimately improving workflow. Body Matrix Coils weighing only 33.5 oz. make for simple transitioning between species.

Features Include:

Full-body MRI scanner offers unparalleled flexibility, accuracy, and speed.
Large Field of View measures 50 cm, providing the perfect view of pathologies.
Exceptional magnet homogeneity and excellent fat saturation for high diagnostic confidence.
Strong gradients provide high resolution with short scan times
