Portable MRI promises to provide immediate diagnosis in virtually any setting

I saw a demo of this device at RSNA last year. It is quite small, which is their goal to make it as portable as it is. But, the opening where the body parts go is also small, and at this point too small I think to fit the whole body. It would work for head and extremities I should think.

I'm inquiring about using this in a veterinary hospital. Might be a ideal for this.

You need a lot of Tesla’s for animal work. Everything is so small that fine slices and high in-plane resolution is needed. The spinal cord on a small dog is not always easily imaged at 3T, 0.1T is going to be a problem.

Thanks. Makes sense why there's no info on their site regarding vet use.
