GE Optima MR450w 1.5T

Refurbished GE Optima MR450w 1.5T — GE Healthcare's 70 cm wide-bore 1.5T platform, broadly considered the sweet spot of the Discovery/Optima MRI family. Pairs a 1.5T superconducting zero-boil-off magnet with a flared 70 cm wide bore, GEM (Geometry Embracing Method) suite coils, and a high-channel architecture for full-body neuro, MSK, body, breast, and vascular imaging. Compared to a 60 cm bore Signa HDxt 1.5T, the MR450w opens up patient access for bariatric, claustrophobic, and pediatric scans without the helium and capital burden of a 3T system. Compared to the MR750w 3T sibling, it lands at a meaningfully lower price and operating cost while keeping the same wide-bore patient experience and most of the same clinical applications. Common buyer use cases include outpatient imaging center launches, hospital replacements, mobile-trailer deployments, and lease-to-own programs. As a GE-trained, engineer-led refurbisher, MIS handles deinstall, magnet ramp-down, transport, ramp-up, install, applications training, parts, and lifetime service support. Ask about mobile leasing if you need MRI capacity during a construction phase or interim period.
