Aurora Imaging Technology’s 1.5-Tesla dedicated breast MRI system is now available to patients in northern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire at Aurora Breast MRI of Beverly Hospital in Danvers, Mass.

Aurora said its system features a precision gradient coil design to provide a homogeneous elliptical field of view to image the breasts, the chest wall and axillae in a single, bilateral scan. The system also has a computer-automated and fully integrated MRI-guided biopsy technology, which determines needle placement for a seamless procedure, according to the North Andover, Mass.-based company.

Aurora Breast MRI of Beverly Hospital is located within the Breast Health Center at Beverly Hospital, providing specialized service and access to advanced imaging technology for its patients.
