.4T APERTO Lucent MRI

APERTO Lucent combines a wide open, single-pillar magnet with RADAR motion compensation, IP-Recon noise reduction, and a lateral-shift table—delivering comfortable exams, quality images, and lower total cost of ownership.

Overview

APERTO Lucent is a 0.4 T permanent-magnet open MRI system designed for tight spaces and budgets. Its unique single-pillar architecture and laterally shifting table improve access and patient comfort. Workflow and image quality are enhanced by RADAR motion-compensating sequences and IP-Recon iterative reconstruction that reduces image noise. The system is helium-free with air cooling and minimal power demand to keep installation and operating costs low.

Main Features

Open, Single-Pillar Design

Expansive, panoramic open aspect reduces anxiety and improves access, paired with a wide, lateral-shift floating table for precise isocenter positioning.

Motion Compensation (RADAR)

RADAR radial k-space collection mitigates motion artifacts across anatomy and sequences, reducing rescans and improving workflow.

Image Quality & Noise Reduction

IP-Recon (iterative reconstruction) de-noises image data to deliver high-quality images under demanding resolution needs; sensitive solenoid RF coils support high SNR.

Additional Information

Field strength & magnet: 0.4 T permanent magnet; helium-free, air-cooled for lower operating cost.

Table & capacity: Wide, laterally moving table; typical up to 500–550 lb capacity depending on configuration; lowers to ease access. (Capacity appears as 500 lb in some brochures; confirm your configuration.)

Fat suppression: Comprehensive options including CHESS RF FatSat, STIR, and Dixon-type FatSep; multi-channel shimming (8-channel) supports uniform fat suppression.

Advanced apps: VASC-ASL non-contrast 3D blood-flow visualization, 3D-GEIR high-contrast isotropic T1 volume imaging, and console VR/MIP vascular visualization.

Economics & siting: Minimal power demand; no cryogen infrastructure; compact footprint designed to simplify siting and reduce construction cost.

Launch & availability: U.S. launch announced July 16, 2024; highlights include single-pillar design, RADAR, CHESS FatSat, FatSep, and IP-Recon.
