.4T APERTO Lucent MRI
Overview
Interested in this Equipment?
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.
