New MRI systems at Mansfield Hospital and Ontario Health Center aim to improve scan quality, reduce imaging time, and enhance patient comfort.
OhioHealth is investing $1.8 million in MRI system upgrades at Mansfield Hospital and Ontario Health Center. The new scanners are designed to deliver higher-quality images, faster scan times, and improved patient comfort.
Mansfield Hospital completed the installation of the MAGNETOM Sola system from Siemens in May. The upgrade, which cost more than $1 million, is expected to enhance image quality, speed up scan times, and reduce energy use.
Ontario Health Center will begin using its new OASIS Velocity Open MRI System from Fujifilm on June 24. The scanner’s open design offers patients a less confined experience, while its imaging capabilities aim to improve diagnostic accuracy. Scan times are expected to decrease significantly, according to a release from OhioHealth.
“Our recent upgrades to our MRI systems are transforming our patients’ scanning experience,” says Chris Clark, MBA, PT, director of radiation and cancer services at OhioHealth Mansfield and Shelby Hospitals, in a release. “These upgrades enable much faster, high-quality scans to quickly get our patients back to their busy lives.”
