InsightMRI Breast Coil Package

DOTmed.com has learned that Broadwest is partnering with InsightMRI to market the InsightMRI Breast Coil package, FDA approved for compatibility with Siemens 1.5T Scanners.

The new product will be featured at the RSNA 2008 in Chicago, IL at Booth 4607. The Breast MR package is comprised of an MRI coil capable of comfortably imaging a subject up to 350 pounds. Patient positioning aides that can customize the configuration are made for maximum comfort. A patient headrest that allows the patient to view outside of the magnet bore reduces the feeling of claustrophobia.

A new software package boasts these features:

Training and education based on your needs

The software is optimized for the radiologist's efficiency and offers real time image registration. The Multi-Planar Reformatting(MPR) and Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) are interactive and fast. Quick spatial and temporal navigation and intelligent and intuitive image review makes this stand-alone software a valuable solution.

The U.S. market for MR breast imaging is currently increasing more than 20 percent per year. As a diagnostic imaging tool, the InsightMRI Breast Coil's technology is designed for a wide range of clinical indications in breast disease management. Expanding MR centers need to be able to accommodate these cases, while maintaining the budget. The Insight Breast Coil package is priced very competitively and its plug-and-play compatibility on existing equipment make it a solid investment.
