The MRO is a "totally open" MR system that provides unparalleled patient comfort, thanks to its innovative U-shaped magnet design. The vertical opening accommodates larger, claustrophobic, elderly or young patients, or those who are in pain, by providing an Open Sky scanner with no barrier between the patient and the environment. MRO changes the paradigm of MR examinations, opening up new possibilities from upright MRI of the spine and joints, to functional studies, to multi position Imaging. The MRO is the world's first superconductive cryogen-free MR system. Paramed is the healthcare division of ASG Superconductors, Genoa, Italy.
