The Discovery MR helps minimize patient anxiety when undergoing an MRI procedure. The table is removable, so patients can be prepped in a separate room away from the imposing device. The touchstrip and in-room console allow the technologist to remain at the patient's side while completing the setup procedures in the scan room. These design-driven features also increase efficiency: One patient can be scanned while another is being prepped.
