    Hear the new sound of patient comfort.

    Getting the best possible diagnostic image quality while making the scan experience as pleasant as possible for the patient is the primary goal of Silent Scan. But the advantages of a quieter scan room don't stop there. Silent Scan can offer numerous benefits for all involved in the scanning process.

    Patient benefits

    • Reduced anxiety during the scan due to quieter environment.
    • Quieter environment facilitates communication between patient and technologist.
    • Reduced scan times when the patient is relaxed and more apt to lie still.
    • Reduced incidence of rescans when the patient is relaxed and more apt to lie still.
    • A better overall MR experience. For patients requiring future scans, this can positively impact their outlook on their treatment plan.

    Technologist benefits

    • Less focus on noise means more focus on the patient.
    • Reduced prep times and scan times can be achieved in the quieter environment.
    • Quieter environment facilitates communication between the patient. Less need to repeat instructions.
    • Quieter environment facilitates communication between multiple care team members such as nurses and anesthesiologists.

    Physician benefits

    • Increased patient satisfaction due to a quieter, more pleasant experience.
    • Excellent image quality for accurate diagnosis.
    • Relaxed patients and quieter environment can lead to faster throughput with fewer rescans.

    Facility benefits

    • Relaxed patients and quieter environment can lead to faster throughput with fewer rescans.
    • Elevated patient satisfaction due to a quieter, more pleasant experience.
    • Innovative technology can give facility competitive advantage.
    • Quieter MR scanning room has less impact on noise levels of neighboring rooms.
