Open Design

Created to expand space and light, helping to reduce claustrophobia and anxiety

The single-pillar design creates an open examination area which together with the rounded architecture and innovative colour design establishes a secure, calming atmosphere for the patient.

Lateral Slide

Enables high-definition imaging even in off-centered regions

In MRI, traditionally the highest definition in imaging can be obtained at the centre of the gantry.
This is due to the high uniformity of the static field and RF radiation strength, along with the high linearity of the gradient magnetic field.
APERTO Lucent V7's table can be moved laterally (right and left) inside the gantry.
Therefore, any region that is out of the midline (shoulder, knee, etc.) can be centralized to the magnetic field.

Floating Table

Designed for comfort, accessibility and isocentric imaging

The lateral slide function allows the floating table to move right and left inside the gantry and the target region can be positioned easily in the centre of the magnetic field.
The table can be lowered to a minimum height of 490 mm, allowing easier accessibility for children and elderly patients.
The 700 mm wide table top offers patients both comfort and a ‘feel-good’ factor, helping to reduce claustrophobia.
