(MSMP) Multi slice multiple phases is a cardiac gated sequence with different heart phases and several slices.
(SSMP) Single slice multiple phase is a cardiac gated sequence with different heart phases in one slice.

(MPR) The postprocessing reformatting of a 3D data set into 2D slices of arbitrary thickness at any angle. For a good resolution thin slices, isotropic voxel and overcontiguous slices (overlapping slices) for good signal are advantageous.

Manufactured by Esaote S.p.A.;
a low field open MRI scanner with permanent magnet for orthopedic use. The outstanding feature of this MRI system is a patient friendly design with 24 cm diameter, which allows the imaging of extremities and small body parts like shoulder MRI. The power consumption is around 1.3 kW and the needed minimum floor space is an area of 16 sq m.
At RSNA 2006 Hologic Inc. introduced a new dedicated extremity MRI scanner, the Opera. Manufactured by Esaote is the Opera a redesign of Esaote's 0.2 Tesla E-Scan XQ platform, which now enables complete imaging of all extremities, including hip and shoulder applications. 'Real-time positioning' reportedly speeds patient setup and reduces exam times.
Esaote North America and Hologic Inc are the U.S. distributors of this MRI device.
