The company has installed three MROpen EVO systems from ASG Superconductors at imaging centers in Atlanta, GA, and Birmingham, AL. The systems allow MRI scans to be completed on patients in a wide array of seated, standing, bent, or reclined positions. In addition, the technology's cryogen-free system does not require patients to be confined to a conventional MRI machine's traditional horizontal cylindrical space during procedures.

The new MROpen EVO machines in Atlanta and Birmingham complement similar machines already in use at the company's Decatur, GA, and San Antonio, TX, centers, US Radiology said.
