Genoa, Italy, 8 October 2021 - Esaote, a leading Italian company in the biomedical sector—in ultrasound, dedicated magnetic resonance imaging and information technology for healthcare— enters the world of total body magnetic resonance imaging with the new system called “Magnifico Open”.

Magnifico Open comes forth out of Esaote’s over 30 years of MRI experience. With Magnifico Open, Esaote proposes an open MRI system with cutting-edge technology to satisfy not only the clinical needs but also addressing operational and financial demands. An ample choice of receiving coils and state-of-the-art MRI technology offers the user an excellent image quality whereas the permanent magnet makes for simple installation and low operating costs. The open magnet and easy-to-access patient table facilitate fast and comfortable patient positioning, ideal for claustrophobic patients and children alike.

Magnifico Open is equipped with most recent Esaote technologies like Speed Up, to assure optimal image quality in reduced examination times, True-Motion real-time imaging, offering a complementary approach to standard MRI for a more comprehensive clinical and diagnostic picture, particularly in high-level sports medicine, or MAR (Metal Artifact Reduction) allowing excellent image quality also for post-surgical imaging.
