Advanced MRI Technology

The GE 3T SIGNA™ Hero MRI at Emerson Health Imaging Westford delivers faster scans, clearer images, and a more comfortable patient experience. With 3 Tesla (3T) strength, this advanced system provides high-resolution images that help doctors make more accurate diagnoses.

Designed for patient comfort, the HERO MRI features a spacious, open-bore design and a detachable table, making it easier for people of all sizes to undergo scans. It also includes specialized prostate MRI capabilities, offering more precise imaging for urologic care.

AI-driven technology helps reduce scan times by up to 60%, meaning less time in the machine while maintaining excellent image quality. This MRI is eco-friendly, uses less power, and reduces helium consumption.

With its speed, comfort, and accuracy, the HERO MRI enhances patient care while improving diagnostic confidence.
