The Echelon Oval 1.5T MR system features the game-changing 74cm
oval shaped bore. This new shape of MR is the widest bore available
offering maximum patient accessibility and accommodation.
“We are very excited about our relationship with ProScan Imaging
and are proud to see our first Echelon Oval installation in a
facility dedicated to the best patient experience, service,
excellence and quality,” said Sheldon Schaffer, Vice President and
General Manager, MRI, HMSA.
ProScan Imaging is the first imaging center not only in the
United States but in the world to install this new oval ultra-wide
bore scanner. “The Echelon Oval High-Field system was chosen
because of its quality, advanced technology and patient focus,”
commented Mark Grossman, Chief Operating Officer at ProScan
Imaging. “Bringing this new technology to Cincinnati and
introducing its capabilities to the world demonstrates ProScan’s
commitment to innovation, patient comfort and satisfaction.”
Designed around the human body, the Echelon Oval High-Field MR
system provides the optimal patient experience with outstanding
comfort, space and efficiency. “The Echelon Oval High-Field MRI
raises the bar of care by giving the patient the comfort of an open
MRI with the versatility and unique features that currently only
exist on high-field MRIs. It gives the patients and their
physicians the best of both worlds,” said Dr. Stephen J. Pomeranz,
Chief Executive Officer and Medical Director of ProScan
Imaging.
As ProScan Imaging continues its patient-centric mission to
provide high-quality imaging services “Built Around You” (the

still offering patients lower costs compared to local hospital
affiliates.
