United Hayek Industries announced the release of a new device, The
Hayek MRI-RTX, making MRI scans significantly cheaper using
synchronized respiratory and cardiac motion. The new device allows
coronary MRAs to be performed in half the scan time with higher
navigator efficiency. This will allow many people to undergo MRA
Imaging at a significantly reduced cost, and allow insurance companies
to screen insurance candidates very cost effectively. Using this method
of synchronized scanning, throughput of patients using scanners
partnered with this technology will effectively be doubled, vastly
reducing MRI scan costs, and making the scans more tolerable for
patients.
The patented Hayek MRI-RTX removes the time constraints of
breath-holding, and overcomes the limited efficiency of navigator
imaging. It can also be used independently of the acquisition sequence
to shorten scan times or increase image resolution. United Hayek is now
working to make the technology compatible with an array of MRI
scanners.
This technology could also be applied to many other types of MRI imaging.
Wolf Hayek, President and CEO of United Hayek Industries, commented,
"We are very proud of this proven new technology, which is set to
vastly change the MRI landscape, making MRI scanning not only more
efficient and affordable, but also significantly more tolerable. I
believe that for MRI manufacturers to incorporate this technology will
be essential. Given a choice of scanner, it is obvious that healthcare
providers would clearly go for a scanner that is able to do twice the
work of other scanners."
United Hayek Medical is the world leader in BCV ventilation, dedicated
to pioneering innovative medical technologies to improve the quality of
life for patients.
