FONAR 360 - The OPEN SKY MRI

• The OPEN SKY MRI takes advantage of the extreme openness created by the revolutionary design of this scanner which naturally lends itself to any of FONAR's beautiful OPEN SKY dcors.
• The OR-360 (MRI Operating Room) is a full-size room with a standard eight-foot ceiling. The two magnetic poles of the magnet are located in the center of the room.
• FONAR's Iron-Frame technology, allows FONAR engineers to fully control, contour and direct the magnet's lines of flux in a variety of structural configurations.
• It enables the placement of a very high concentration of flux in the patient gap where wanted and almost none away from the magnet where not wanted.
• FONAR engineers created the ultimate in openness by including the floor, ceiling and sidewalls in the iron frame itself. Patients don't realize it, but the scanner room is literally the inside of the MRI magnet. The height of the ceiling is 8 feet; the width of the room is 14 feet; and its depth is unlimited.
• The Dual Purpose Scanner: When it is not being used for surgery, it can be used, as is, for diagnostics.

The FONAR 360 is a full-size room with a standard eight-foot ceiling. The magnetic poles of the scanner are located in the center of the room; one of them protrudes from the ceiling and the other from the floor. The patient is comfortably positioned in the large space, or gap, between the two poles and is accessible from any angle.
