It is a current-generation 1.5T platform built for multi-station, multi-region examinations — which is exactly what a screening package is. The clinic is a licensed outpatient imaging centre in Shenzhen with a dedicated MR suite, not a hospital ward; expect a quieter, faster visit than a Grade 3A radiology department.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1.5T or 3.0T — which one do you actually need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeither is \"better\"; they do different jobs. A 3.0T magnet produces more signal, which radiologists use for higher-resolution imaging of small structures — tiny brain or pituitary lesions, fine ligaments, small vessels — and it is the field strength most Grade 3A hospitals use for targeted diagnostic work. The price of that signal is longer scans per region and more sensitivity to metal and motion. A 1.5T magnet is the mature, widely used field strength for routine and screening MRI: multi-region protocols run faster, artifacts around metal are milder, and the image quality is sufficient to find the common findings a screening MRI is looking for — disc disease, ischaemic change, organ masses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur path:\u003c\/strong\u003e screen broadly on 1.5T, then, if a region raises a question, review that one region on a 3.0T hospital scanner (\u003ca href=\"\/pt\/products\/addon-mri-china\"\u003esingle-region 3.0T MRI add-on\u003c\/a\u003e) or with a \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/products\/addon-whole-body-pet-ct-china\"\u003ePET-CT\u003c\/a\u003e where a physician recommends it.
