This state-of-the-art device was installed at the Commonwealth Games onsite medical facility. It is imperative to mention here that Toshiba is also the official medical system provider for this event.

The device is very economical and comes up with numerous financial benefits because of hassle-free use and easy transportability. Furthermore, it also allows the functional use of the device by the patient as well as healthcare providers. The device provides multiple options for post-processing several applications such as neuro, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular.

A diesel generator is affixed to the system which supplies power to the scanner and chiller, to keep the magnet running during the transfer of the system. Moreover, it is a visual masterpiece that includes beautiful lighting, visual displays (on walls & ceiling), hot and cold running water, freeview TV and sound system.
