Introduction: the speaker
Me and the MRI:
-MD., radiologist fellow in County Hospital Of Zala (Hungary)
-PhD.-Quantitative MRI in experimental and applied clinical research
-operator level experience with 0.3T-9.4T MR machines
-most publications on 3T, Matlab® software basic level programming
-recently using 0.4T(Aperto Lucent) and 1.5T on daily basis
-head of a small private Diagnostic Center -Integrity MRI :
Aperto Lucent 0.4T MRI, Arietta V70 US, XGEO GU60 Xray

Myriad tissue contrast variations
Structural, functional and metabolical information
High resolution 2/3D
Non ionizing -”nil nocere”
Expensive Not enough capacity Long waiting lists Missed timeframe Missed diagnosis
Possibilities vs. reality
Advanced therapies need advanced diagnostics
The most advanced Imaging tool: MRI
More MRI capacity needed more MRI machine
The problem of the 21st century medicine

- What do I want/have to do?
NHS/private, expected patient number
special imaging purposes,image quality etc.
Buying MRI:
the money I have / will have
the reputation I have / will have
- What can I do?
Think! The decision is yours
and so are the consequences

The balance of Aperto Lucent
Comfort Cost Quality
- 320°open gentry - low noise - motorized patient table - friendly GUI
- permanent magnet - no helium - no water cooling - low intallation and maintenance cost - low power consumption
- 0.4T advanced magnet - powerful gradient system - superShim - dedicated coils - dedicated sequences - advanced signal processing

Reality
How does Aperto Lucent perform in real practice?
Can image quality really live up to the mark?
Was it for worth for Integrity MRI to buy an Aperto Lucent? (If we could go back in time would we buy it again?)
Ok, enough of the money,
but:
