Lilavati Hospital & Research Centre has installed OMEGA 3T MRI, diagnostic imaging that combines advanced technology with patient-centric design. This according to the healthcare provider marks the first installation of its kind in Mumbai, offering speed, precision, and comfort to patients across all age groups.
The 3T MRI is unique with the world's first 75 cm ultra-wide bore, providing greater comfort and accessibility. This provides the assurance that claustrophobic, elderly, paediatric, or bariatric patients can be scanned comfortably. Its Silent MRI Technology also enhances the experience through greatly minimizing acoustic noise, making the environment calmer and more relaxing during procedures. Moreover, it is equipped with Advanced AI-Powered Imaging for deep learning reconstructions to enable faster scans and sharper results.
Designed with a 3T superconducting magnet and state-of-the-art homogeneity, the OMEGA system provides crystal-clear images with unparalleled tissue contrast. With cutting-edge technology, the new MRI system completes scans in just 10–12 minutes compared to the conventional 30–40 minutes. Its high-speed capability—up to 36 times faster than standard MRI— empowers clinicians to capture highly detailed images in record time. This innovation not only reduces patient discomfort but also minimizes motion artifacts, making it especially valuable for paediatric and emergency cases where speed and accuracy are critical.
The system further provides full-body imaging in multiple specialties, including neurology, cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, abdomen, pelvis, breast, vascular, and spine scans. A 300 kg capacity table allows it to accommodate a broad spectrum of patients with ease. Automated setup tools like EasyScan and AutoPositioning also reduce setup time, enabling clinicians to focus more on patient care while ensuring quicker results.
Rajiv Mehta, Permanent Trustee, said: "The installation of Mumbai’s first OMEGA 3T MRI marks a significant step forward in our ongoing commitment to enhancing the hospital’s capabilities with next-generation medical technology."
Prashant Mehta, permanent trustee said, "Lilavati Hospital has always been in the vanguard of embracing cutting-edge medical technologies. With the launch of the OMEGA 3T MRI, we are pushing the standard of patient care by providing quicker, quieter, and more precise scans, all while maximizing patient comfort. This project is a culmination of our continued commitment to excellence in healthcare and our drive to provide world-class medical services to the people of Mumbai and beyond."
