The OrthoVu-1000 is intended to produce MRI images of human extremities, which when reviewed by a qualified medical practitioner, can render medical information of the region under review.

The OrthoVu-1000 is a transportable, permanent-magnet MRI system, which uses a surface magnet/coil assembly to perform nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of human anatomy with particular emphasis on the imaging of extremities. This system utilizes a non-homogeneous magnetic field, developed by a single device head, which applies magnetic and radio frequency (RF) energy and then detects the resultant spin echoes. A computer system controls excitation and performs processing and imaging functions. The control and imaging computer as well as the associated electronics package is mounted on a cart with a magnet assembly which can be manually positioned in the correct orientation to perform the desired imaging.
