S-scan: The Next Step in Office MRI
The Complete Musculoskeletal MRI
The S-scan with eXP Technology, covers all musculoskeletal anatomy from foot to shoulders, including the L and C-spine. It is perfectly in line with today’s need for efficient and economic health care and is a sensible choice for any practice with a substantial musculoskeletal work-load.
S-scan integrates Esaote's years of experience in the development and production of dedicated MRI systems and is a complete and efficient solution that's specifically optimized to meet the demanding needs of MSK professionals.
Esaote, Market Leader in MSK MRI Systems
Musculoskeletal MRI the second most requested MRI study behind neuro imaging. Esaote’s focus is MSK MRI and we have become the world leader in that area. Esaote systems are used daily in many clinics and hospitals all over the world for routine clinical use as well as for research. Esaote systems are unique as they are extremely easy to use and combine excellent image quality with optimum patient comfort.
Efficiency with S-scan
S-scan is an efficient MRI system that’s easy to use, with simple patient workflow that cost-effectively delivers outstanding image quality. Its open design and real-time image display on the gantry facilitates fast and easy patient positioning. With DICOM worklist, network integration, and no cryogens, S-scan’s small footprint makes MRI efficient and cost effective.

S-scan: Easy Patient Access
Easy patient access is one of the features that distinguishes the S-scan as an ideal system for more advanced applications such as MRI arthrography. The wide opening and compact magnet provide easy access to the patient.
S-scan: Real-Time Positioning
Fast, error free positioning is facilitated by the real-time image display on the system gantry.
S-scan Brio: Intuitive User Interface
Because it uses Windows®, S-scan is easy to learn and use. With a user interface and protocols custom designed for musculoskeletal imaging, exams are fast and simple to perform. Expert users can personalize all scanning parameters and customer sequences can be stored and integrated in the normal menu structure for subsequent use.
Intuitive user interface: easy to use Windows® based user interface
A complete software package: supplied with an extensive range of tools to process, display and analyze images.
S-scan Economics
S-scan is one of the most economical MRI systems available, featuring easy installation, the patented Esaote RF pavilion, low energy consumption, no cryogens, and remote service capability. These features make S-scan suitable for sites with limited patient work-load.
S-scan Easy to install and Maintain
S-scan is a “one room” MRI system which means that the complete system, magnet, electronics and console can be installed in a single room of only 20 m2 (238 ft2).
S-scan is based on an optimized permanent magnet so no cryogens and no complicated cooling systems are required.
Patented, light-weight pavilion style RF shielding can be independently installed without any additional construction or renovation.
