Dedicated MRI
Esaote has revolutionized the world of musculoskeletal imaging with the introduction of Artoscan, the first dedicated MRI system in the world. Designed specifically to image knee, ankle, foot, hand, wrist and elbow, Artoscan is now installed in hundreds of clinical institutions worldwide, including several leading European and American research centers that are using the system to develop innovative applications for this unique and original technology.
	In 1999 Esaote merged the advantages of dedicate MRI with those of open MRI to pioneer a cost-effective, high-throughput system, the E-Scan - an open MRI unit, based on permanent magnet technology, that can examine all bodily extremities, including the shoulder. The result of a long-term development program conducted in close collaboration with major medical research institutions and clinical sites around the world, the product reinforces Esaote's leadership position as a provider of cost-effective dedicated MRI to the medical market and to world leaders in the industry. Its patented magnet, the ergonomic design of its patient table, and its ease of installation and use make the E-Scan another genuinely unique product developed by Esaote.

2001 is characterized by the launch of the newest Esaote product in this market niche: the C-Scan, the most compact MRI system around the world. With its absolutely innovative design, C-Scan combines excellent MRI capabilities, enhanced productivity, full connectivity, and superior cost-effectiveness. With its integrated RF shielding, low weight and extremely small 5 gauss footprint, C-Scan is the only MRI system that can be installed virtually in any office or practice. Moreover, its unique ergonomics guarantees the complete absence of claustrophobic reactions. Suitable for radiology, orthopaedy, rheumatology, and sports medicine departments, C-Scan provides new opportunities to a larger range of patients and applications that can benefit substantially from a wider availability to MRI.
