The MOBINEURO Alita is a state-of-the-art iMRI system designed to dramatically improve neurosurgical workflow and patient outcomes. Featuring a novel floor-moving magnet solution with drastically reduced installation requirements, less time is spent renovating resulting in more time spent operating. The patented magnet moving technology was developed by industry experts and innovators of iMRI, and the system features MRI technology and support from a world leading medical imaging manufacturer.
The MOBINEURO Alita intraoperative MRI system is a traditional MRI system mounted on top of a ground-based crawler to facilitate intraoperative use. The MOBINEURO Alita Intraoperative Imaging System is indicated for use for the head and specifically, the brain and cervical spine. It is also intended for use as a diagnostic patient imaging device.
The MOBINEURO Alita Intraoperative Imaging System can be used during intraoperative procedures when performed in an intraoperative MRI suite with MR compatible devices such as anesthesia and patient monitoring equipment.
MRI System (Magnet)
The MOBINEURO Alita iMRI System integrates a Siemens MAGNETOM Sempra with syngo MR XA12 operating software. The operating software is upgradable based on the Siemens MAGNETOM release schedule. The Siemens MAGNETOM Sempra system is a 1.5-T field strength MR imager with a 60 cm patient friendly open bore and Total Imaging Matrix (Tim) technology.
The Siemens MAGNETOM Sempra system is indicated for use as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD) that produces transverse, sagittal, coronal, and oblique cross-sectional images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, and that displays the internal structure and/or function of the head, body, or extremities. Depending on the region of interest, contrast agents may be used.
The MAGNETOM Sempra can acquire images of the internal structures of the patient’s entire body. It is optimized for imaging within a cylindrical volume of 50 x 50 x 45 cm3. DEV at the magnet isocentre. Images or portions of images outside of this volume do not necessarily meet performance specifications, but may still be used for diagnosis, requiring the subjective judgment of the diagnosing physician.
The MAGNETOM Sempra integrated into the MOBINEURO Alita comes with the standard suite of tools, RF coils, and documentation provided when purchased directly from Siemens.
Magnet Transport System (MTS)
The MOBINEURO Alita intraoperative MRI system uses a ground-based system to transport the Sempra magnet between the DR and OR. The DR houses the MR Imager when not in use for neurosurgical purposes, allowing it to be used as a conventional diagnostic MRI system using the standard Siemens scanning protocols and patient table.
The magnet mover is a tracked crawler designed to support load capacities of up to 5 tons. In this design, the magnet load is distributed over the entire track area of the crawler, which reduces the force per square meter on the hospital floor. The Siemens fixed diagnostic patient table is mounted on a platform and travels together with the magnet as a unit. Magnet movement is controlled in two ways:
Hand-held pendant controller enables control over the magnet position from within the OR/DR.
The magnet mover software, accessible from the console, enables control and monitoring of the magnet position.
Cable Carrier and Quench System
The stationary module is manufactured from aluminum t-slot extrusion and designed to support the IGUS cable carrier (which encloses the flexible quench pipeline) and rigid quench pipeline system. The cable management system allows the magnet interface cables, cooling lines, and the flexible quench pipelines to move with the magnet between the DR and OR.
