Sometimes it’s great to review the basics of Magnetic Resonance Imaging; how they work, what they cost, how they’re maintained and even how they are installed. Let’s take a closer look at Gradient Coils in MRI scanners.

Yes, they make a really loud noise. And their magnetic field is actually strong enough to lift a car before modification. But most importantly, they drive MRI value on the secondary market. So, what do you need to know about 1.5T MRI Gradient Slew Rates?

First came Philips’ breakthrough Blueseal technology, a fully-sealed magnet that reduces the amount of liquid helium needed to

Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all the new technology, issues and changes in medical imaging. At Atlantis Worldwide, we thought we’d make it a little easier for you.

We gathered up our most interesting MRI articles. They were shared on news and medical sites, on LinkedIn and even Facebook. We got lots of positive and interesting feedback and comments from trusted friends and professionals.

MRI imaging provides excellent soft-tissue delineation in different areas of interest. But the images are only as good as the coils and  MRI equipment to create the images. That’s why it’s vital that image providers take care of coils and keep them working correctly.

But Kagan could see potential.
