MEDRAD Mobile MR Injector Meets Challenges of MR Trailers


Design of Spectris Solaris® EP Mobile Solution MR Injection System Sets Space-Saving Standard

WARRENDALE, Pa., Nov. 20 / -- With the introduction of the Spectris Solaris® EP Mobile MR Injection System today, MEDRAD once again addresses the challenges clinicians face in a mobile magnetic resonance (MR) imaging trailer with market-leading injector technology suited for small spaces.

The new Spectris Solaris EP Mobile is specifically tailored for the mobile MR trailer environment and combines proven MEDRAD reliability and performance with space-saving efficiency. The Spectris Solaris EP Mobile sets the standard for space-savings with an off-the-floor design, compact storage against the trailer wall, new AC power solution, and equal access to either arm of the patient.

"We've modified the MR injection system to mount the power unit and injector head advantageously on the trailer wall and free up valuable floor space," said Joe Havrilla, senior vice-president, MR Business Unit for MEDRAD. "The Mobile Solution gives clinicians the same proven reliability and performance of our market-leading injection system suited perfectly for the tight quarters of mobile MR."

The Spectris Solaris EP Mobile Solution can be ordered through MEDRAD representatives throughout the U.S. and Europe.
