Introducing New Technology

Permanent MRI with Dynamic Balancing Technology

• World Highest Field Permanent Open MRI.
• Low Cost (price and maintenance fees).
• Comfortable, Non-claustrophobic.
• Suitable for interventional applications.
• Star 4500 MRI is the world's first 4500 Gauss whole body permanent magnet open MRI system which is a milestone in the history of MRI. At 4500 Gauss, XinAoMDT's mStar 4500 surpassed the open MRI strength limit predicated years ago for permanent magnet systems.
• Star 4500 MRI system is a brand new product benefiting from Sanrad's patented Dynamic Balancing technology, whose design philosophy is based on targeting the electromagnetic field. This is achieved by integrating the design of magnet, gradient and RF systems into one process. nStar 4500 MRI, characterised by its high quality images and fast acquisitions, makes the clinical applications of advanced technologies feasible in low-fields.

2. Ultrasound / Optical Diffusion Breast Imaging System

• For Early Breast Cancer Detection and Monitoring)

Leading Technology

This system is developed on the basis of an innovative technology protected by several international patents. It is the result of a several years of research and combined efforts by the University of Connecticut and MDT, US since 1998.

This effort has been supported by a variety of resources, including the Connecticut Innovative Fund, NIH grants, Hartford Hospital, and the Health Center of the University of Connecticut. It has been reported in the media like Laser World magazine, Radiology and featured in TV programmes on CBS

Innovative Solution

Localisation - Ultrasound imaging is a well-developed technology, which offers good spatial resolution, and can detect breast lesions of a few millimeters in size. OPTIMUS takes advantage of this technology to localise tumors.

Identification - Optical Tomography, a new technique that employs diffused light in the near infrared spectrum, provides functional images of tumor angiogenesis and tumor hypoxia. OPTIMUS utilises such functional information to indicate the likelihood of tumor malignancy.

Early detection - OPTIMUS can detect and diagnose lesions as small as 0.5 cm in diameter.

Non - invasive - OPTIMUS performs breast imaging with non-compression, non-radiation and non-invasion.
