With the shortest 1.5T magnet in the industry and its


70 cm (over two feet) inner diameter, MAGNETOM Espree
is the only Open Bore MR scanner to combine high-field
power with the highest level of patient comfort. In fact,
most clinical applications can be done feetfirst, with the
patient's head outside the magnet.
All together a new level of excellence – from every perspective

MAGNETOM Espree meets I-class.


With the introduction of MAGNETOM industry and the unparalleled capability
Espree, we launched a new way to think of Tim, MAGNETOM Espree brings
about Open MRI. With its 70 cm inner together, for the first time, CT-like com-
diameter, the shortest 1.5T magnet in the fort with true 1.5T high-field power.
In fact, with a remarkably short 125 cm
system, over 60% of typical exams can
be done with the patient’s head outside
of the Open Bore to ease feelings of
claustrophobia.
