The Free.Max platform has a unique, 80 cm diameter bore and an optional 705 lb / 320 kg patient table limit, which eliminates barriers to #MRI for those with severe obesity. Reduced B0 also offers greater flexibility in magnet design.
Lower B0 means lower Lorentz forces, reducing audible noise and potentially improving the patient experience. The higher field homogeneity and lower specific absorption rate (SAR) at lower-field benefits techniques that are dependent on balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP), potentially increasing safety and reducing artifacts in patients with implanted devices.
