Product Overview
The G‑scan Open offers a truly open weight‑bearing MRI experience, enabling diagnosis of musculoskeletal conditions under natural physiological load. Patients of all sizes benefit from the claustrophobic‑friendly design, while your staff gains access to dynamic imaging and AI‑powered tools. With a small footprint and low installation costs, it is an ideal solution for clinics seeking high‑precision imaging in limited spaces.
The top features you should know about the G‑scan Open include:
-
- True weight‑bearing capability (0–90° tilt) for spine and joint exams under natural load.
-
- e‑SPADES AI integration – fully integrated artificial intelligence for workflow automation and diagnostic confidence.
-
- True‑Motion dynamic imaging – real‑time MRI during joint movement to capture instability and impingement.
-
- Q‑Spine software – semiautomatic quantification of biomechanical changes (listhesis index, spinal canal section, 3D reconstruction).
-
- Ultra‑compact one‑room installation – only 23 m² (245 ft²) including electronics, no helium, no cooling system.
Core Features & Technical Specifications
The G‑scan Open is a permanent‑magnet MRI system designed for clinics that demand high‑quality imaging with minimal infrastructure. Its innovative open design eliminates claustrophobia, while low power consumption and helium‑free operation reduce total cost of ownership.
Key specifications and advantages:
-
- One‑room MRI: 23 m² (245 ft²) including electronics and console – plug‑and‑play installation.
-
- Electrical consumption: 0.4 kVA (OFF), 1.2 kVA (standby), 2.4 kVA (acquisition). No dedicated electrical line needed.
-
- No helium or cooling system – zero cryogen costs, simplified siting.
-
- Permanent magnet technology – high reliability and low maintenance.
-
- 12 dedicated multi‑purpose coils designed for spine, knee, shoulder, and ankle.
-
- Advanced protocols: 3DHYCE (nerve roots), 3DSHARC (cartilage), Spin Echo Dixon (SPED), Metal Artifact Reduction (MAR).
Advanced Technologies & AI Integration
Fujifilm and Esaote engineers have packed this compact machine with powerful tools that redefine musculoskeletal MRI. From AI‑assisted analysis to motion‑adaptive imaging, every feature is designed to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient throughput.
e‑SPADES is our fully integrated AI solution that enhances workflow, automates segmentation, and provides decision support for spine and joint exams. It reduces exam time while increasing diagnostic confidence.
Q‑Spine is a support tool developed to visualize and quantify biomechanical changes when performing both weight‑bearing and supine scanning during a lumbar spine examination. It provides numerical quantification of Listhesis Index, spinal canal section, 3D reconstruction, and a PDF report for surgical planning.
With the implementation of True‑Motion and the open magnet design, G‑scan Open allows operators to perform MRI with patients performing specific joint movements, providing real‑time functional information on instability, impingement, and ligament stress.
Our advanced Metal Artifact Reduction sequence reduces distortion and artifacts caused by metallic implants, ensuring precise diagnostics and post‑treatment monitoring. X‑MAR is available worldwide except USA; MAR available globally.
Integrated inside G‑scan Open, the eXP platform provides advanced acquisition techniques such as Speed‑Up and TR reduction to shorten scan time without compromising SNR. High‑resolution 3D isotropic imaging and SPED Dixon techniques are also available.
One‑room MRI with reduced electricity consumption: only 0.4 kVA when OFF, 1.2 kVA standby, 2.4 kVA during acquisition. No helium, no cooling system, and no dedicated electrical line required. RF cage shields can be installed without additional room modifications.
