BIC Sarasota's MRI Technology
Bowes Imaging Sarasota offers a Philips Intera 1.5 T MRI magnet. Improved patient comfort during examinations results in less motion and fewer repeated scans. The Intera is Designed for enhanced patient comfort with a ultra-compact, short-bore magnet with a wide flared opening, soft lines and soothing colors. The patient environment is open and spacious. The straight central section of the patient bore is only 60cm long, and quickly flares from 60cm to 110cm. The state-of-the-art design ensures easy access to the patient and good patient visibility for the operator. During many examinations the patient can easily see outside the magnet. Intera’s unique Softone features ensures that the gradient induced acoustic noise is kept to a minimum for all imaging sequences. An acoustic noise suppression headset further decreases the acoustic noise perceived by the patient.
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.
Digital Ultrasound
Digital Ultrasound
Our digital ultrasound is able to accommodate a wide range of clinical specialties, without compromise. The digital ultrasound implements phased array technology for cardiac imaging, linear array for vascular and small parts imaging, as well as curved array and microconvex for general imaging. The system allows for the evaluation of the heart, vasculature and organs of the body with the appropriate transducer technology and the appropriate measurement and analysis packages.
