Application
Mobile & Trailer Imaging
One vehicle, one imaging unit. Lightweight construction, vibration tolerance and low power draw make the system trailer-mountable.
Why it works
The setup.
MRI capacity is unevenly distributed. Across OECD countries the installed base runs from under 3 to almost 60 units per million people, and where capacity is thin the wait is counted in months rather than days.
Weight is what has kept MRI out of mobile settings. These are permanent-magnet designs weighing a few tonnes rather than tens of tonnes, running from a single-phase supply and shipped with a modular enclosure — so a vehicle, a temporary building or an upper floor becomes a viable site.
- A small modular enclosure rather than a full shielded room.
- Single-phase power and, in most sites, no floor reinforcement.
- Permanent magnet — no liquid helium, no cryogenic service.
- AI reconstruction and assisted reading to support sites without an on-staff radiologist.
The problem, in numbers
Why this needs its own machine.
