Improve your imaging workflow
Standardize the variable:patient positioning.
Support the patient. Standardize the position. Keep the workflow moving.
Position once. Hold throughout.
Designed to fit your workflow — not change it. Same scanner. Same room. Same patient. Different positioning workflow.
- Designed to be in Zone IV 3T
- Vendor-agnostic
- Load-bearing
- In-bore
- No manual lifting
- No table modification
- No installation
- No consumables
- No scanner downtime
PatentedLoad-bearing patient support in Zone IV. No lift through the exam.

Why Now?
Changing times. Changing paradigms.
Patient positioning is no longer a variable healthcare systems can afford to absorb.
See why it mattersThe cost no one schedules
What is positioning costing the workflow?
The impact is already in your numbers. The workflow just doesn’t label it “positioning.”
- Scanners got faster.
- Sequences got tighter.
- Positioning was left behind.
Four places it already shows up.
PACS / report
Look at the language.
“Motion.” “Limited.” “Repositioned.” “Unable to tolerate.”
Motion artifact · Repeat sequences · Compromised exams
Workforce / staffing
Look at the capacity.
Extra hands. On-call assistance. Workarounds. Physical strain that goes undocumented.
Staff capacity · Injury exposure · Workforce fatigue
Schedule / access
Look at what isn't getting through.
Rescheduled cases. Cancellations. Incomplete exams. Patients who cannot be imaged as planned.
Lost capacity · Rescheduled cases · Incomplete exams

For your role
The problem starts in Zone IV. Its impact reaches far beyond.
Same problem. Different priorities.
Imaging Directors
17.4%
MRI vacancy, up from 6.2% in 2020 — while 28.7% of outpatient exams already wait more than 15 days. Same 30-/45-minute boxes. Fewer people to run them.

35 lb
NIOSH limit for a lift — not a hold.
On-call. Short-staffed shifts still expect the scan to happen. Responsibility without the right tools isn’t safe.
Enable safe, single-technologist positioning.
Protect your backRadiologists
- Incomplete
- Sub-optimal coil
- Non-diagnostic
Incomplete scans. Sub-optimal coil selection. Non-diagnostic studies. The positioning problem can show up in the report before it shows up in a KPI.
Positioning that holds. Imaging that aligns.

Motion artifact alone can cost more than $100k per scanner each year — before vacancy premiums, two-technologist workflows, and patients who never become completed exams.

The Stories Behind the Scan.
Real patients. Real challenges. Real stories.
Every day, some patients leave an MRI appointment without the images they came for. Others leave with a partially completed, limited, or nondiagnostic exam.
Some reached out to us after they ran out of options. They—and sometimes their families—kept looking for a way forward.
Is your MRI prepared for every patient who counts on you? These stories are individual. The challenge is not.
They shouldn’t have had to.
But they did.
Here’s who kept looking.
