MRI
Siemens Magnetom Essenza
Providing the power of 1.5 Tesla image quality with more applications and enhanced patient comfort, Bowes Imaging Center is now experiencing the best of both worlds with the installation of Siemens Medical Solutions new MAGNETOM® ESSENZA MRI.
We needed flexibility, accuracy, and speed, and found it all in the MAGNETOM ESSENZA from Siemens. With the MAGNETOM ESSENZA, Siemens has delivered a system that gives our physicians the clinical information they need to provide our patients with the highest quality of care.
Due to its 1.5T field strength, the MAGNETOM ESSENZA allows BIC to deliver outstanding image quality that supports a complete range of clinical applications, including neurology, orthopedics, body imaging, angiography, cardiology, breast imaging, oncology and pediatric imaging.
The revolutionary, Tim™ (Total imaging matrix) technology, increases throughput with the combination of up to four matrix coils which makes patient repositioning virtually unnecessary. This advancement results in workflow improvements that can lead to reduced exam times. For example, clinicians at Bowes Imaging Center can now perform a whole central nervous system exam in less than 10 minutes. Additionally, the system’s ultra-short bore will alleviate concerns of claustrophobia since many patients can be imaged with their head outside of the bore.
Bariatric MRI
Hitachi Echelon Oval
Bowes Imaging Center has added Hitachi’s Echelon Oval™ 1.5T Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging system to its list of diagnostic offerings. We are the only diagnostic center in Tampa Bay that can accommodate patients up to 550 pounds. Echelon Oval’s exclusive 74 cm wide oval bore shapes the MR imaging environment to the patient. In simple terms, the hole that the patients enter is extremely wide. In most cases, a patient over 6 feet tall will have more than enough room in the machine. This advancement in technology is the first of its kind and is the only MRI unit in the world that has this much space.
Hitachi’s Echelon Oval 1.5T MR system provides outstanding imaging performance on a
platform designed for the patient. The industry’s widest patient table provides access and comfort to the broadest possible spectrum of patient types: from pediatric to bariatric to claustrophobic to geriatric – and everyone in-between. The short, no compromise 1.5T magnet provides a full 50 cm field of view in each axis with outstanding main field homogeneity at the extremes. HOAST™ Higher Order Active Shim Technology maintains that uniformity automatically for every patient.

3D Mommography
Fujifilm ASPIRE Cristalle
It’s time to get smarter about 3D mammography
ASPIRE Cristalle with Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is built with insight into image quality, operational excellence, and a better patient experience.
Mammograms don’t work if women won’t get them.
The intelligent design of ASPIRE Cristalle’s patented Comfort Paddle provides noticeably less pain and anxiety for the patient. With its unique flexible, slotted 4-way tilting paddle design, it provides more even compression, that combined with the Intelligent Automatic Exposure Control (iAEC) image processing, make it possible to provide more optimized images at low dose for every breast type, including implants.
