GE Healthcare Optima MR450w 1.5T - Manual (Page 4)

Sometimes something as simple as a light, such as the sophisticated LED
lighting on the Optima MR450w, can be enough to get people’s attention.
This small, but important design choice represents our focus on the human
element in MR.
Using the symbol of caring hands as our inspiration, the Optima MR450w
was designed to be welcoming to the patient and intuitive for the technologist.
We listened to patients who asked us for a comfortable scan experience.
We not only widened the bore and created soft, flexible coils, but we
completely re-designed the table surface with different cushion densities
to help alleviate pressure points for a more relaxing exam.
We also listened to technologists describe their use of the on-system
controls. So we built a sleek, ergonomically-friendly interface to mimic the
same consumer-designed devices they use in their home every day.
This allows them to focus their attention where it belongs, on their patients.
The result? An MR system inviting to patients and user friendly for technologists.
MR IN A NEW LIGHT.
