About The Entry

Built around the philosophy of "Technology Empowers Diagnosis, Design Conveys Humanism", this 3.0T medical MRI system breaks the long-standing stereotype of high-end medical equipment that prioritizes technology over experience, offering a new direction for the global medical design field that balances technical excellence with humanistic care.

This MRI scanner integrates systematic humanistic care throughout its product lifecycle. A streamlined, rounded unibody design softens the coldness and oppressive feel of large medical equipment. The unique wrap-around curved light strips and integrated softly lit, ventilated bore effectively alleviate patients' claustrophobia and anxiety during examination from visual, tactile, and environmental dimensions, infusing the diagnostic space with a healing atmosphere. For medical staff, a minimalist interaction solution featuring dual-sided 15-inch touchscreens and precision knurled knobs enables precise operation from any side, significantly improving clinical workflow efficiency.

Driven by the pioneering DirectCool™ 6 L liquid helium direct-cooling technology, this MRI scanner consumes far less helium than conventional systems, fundamentally reducing hospital operational risks and costs, which embodies a commitment to sustainability and responsibility. Combined with 256 independent RF channels and a native intelligent imaging system, it delivers ultra-fast, high-resolution scanning. Enhanced by modular, easy-maintenance design and medical-grade eco-friendly materials, it minimizes total lifecycle operating costs for hospitals.
