MEDICAL EQUIPMENT TECHNOLOGY
UPDATE
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (“MRI”)
In line with global trends in MRI technology, KPJ
hospitals have upgraded, refurbished and even
replaced their MRI technology. This allows for
faster imaging exams, better management of
patient loads, increased patient comfort, versatility
and economic value, as well as the expansion of
MRI systems into more clinical areas.
KPJ Kajang has installed a new MRI system. The
new MRI system is light and easy to manoeuvre,
and is designed to transport patients to the MRI
suite without the need for repositioning. The
system docks over the MR system’s couch,
allowing patients to remain on one table during
the entire imaging process.
The new system is equipped with the following
tools which make imaging faster, better quality
and more comfortable:
• Advanced magnet system for a highly
homogenous static magnetic field
• Advanced shielded gradient coil to generate
the most uniform gradient parameters
The new MRI system is
light and
easy to
manoeuvre,
and is designed to transport patients to the MRI suite without
the need for repositioning
