Problem
Conventional MRI scanners are large, expensive, and require dedicated facilities, limiting their availability for routine brain and dental imaging, especially in smaller clinics or remote settings. The high capital cost and immobility also impede timely diagnosis and reduce patient access to high‑resolution soft‑ and hard‑tissue visualization.
Solution
Tesoro Imaging offers a compact, low‑cost magnetic resonance system designed for mobility and ease of deployment in clinical environments. The scanner combines a lightweight magnet architecture with optimized gradient and RF subsystems to deliver diagnostic‑grade images of both brain and dental structures. By reducing hardware footprint and manufacturing expenses, the platform enables point‑of‑care MRI without the need for extensive infrastructure. Integrated acquisition software automates pulse‑sequence selection and image reconstruction, allowing clinicians to obtain high‑contrast soft‑tissue and hard‑tissue images on a single device. The system’s portable design supports use in outpatient clinics, mobile health units, and dental offices, expanding MRI access to underserved locations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are radiology departments, dental clinics, and mobile health providers seeking a portable MRI solution for brain and dental diagnostics. Secondary users include research institutions and specialty imaging centers that require cost‑effective, high‑resolution MR imaging without large‑scale infrastructure.
