Head imaging at the bedside, in the ward, and in the operating room — reducing transport risk for critical patients.
Why it works
The setup.
Head imaging is where access is hardest to arrange and the cost of waiting is highest. A conventional scanner is fixed, usually on a lower floor, and reaching it means moving a patient who may be unstable, monitored, or unable to tolerate a closed bore at all.
A transportable system with an open geometry moves the imaging rather than the patient. The study happens where the care is happening — ward, emergency department, or operating room — and the tunnel that makes a share of patients need sedation disappears along with the move.
- 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.

1–15%
of patients scheduled for MRI cannot be imaged, or need sedation, because of claustrophobia.
