The Innovation Celebration recognizes groundbreaking healthcare technologies launched throughout the year and the ways these products are helping to improve the health of communities.
The O-scan SMART MRI system revolutionizes extremity imaging with an open, helium- free, and energy-efficient design, along with a compact footprint, enabling the delivery of high-quality diagnostics at the point of care.
“It’s an honor to have the O-scan SMART recognized as an Innovation Celebration award winner,” says Stephen Gibbs, Director of Sales and Marketing at Esaote North America, Inc. “Adding extremity MRI to your imaging services offers a smart, cost-effective investment. With lower installation and operating costs compared to conventional systems, extremity MRI helps facilities reduce patient backlogs, control costs, and expand access to care to everyone, everywhere.”
