BILKULONLINE
Ahmedabad, Dec 14: In a groundbreaking development, Stavya Spine Hospital, Ahmedabad has become the first in Gujarat to introduce the Open Standing Weight-Bearing MRI, manufactured by Esaote SpA, Italy.
This advanced diagnostic tool, designed for spine evaluations, allows imaging in standing, sitting, and supine positions, revolutionizing the assessment and management of spinal conditions.
The Open Standing MRI enables dynamic, weight-bearing imaging, making it particularly effective for diagnosing conditions such as scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, and spinal instability.
Additionally, its open design offers comfort to patients with claustrophobia or anxiety associated with conventional MRIs. The machine can also perform weight-bearing imaging of the knee and hip, providing critical insights into joint health.
Pioneering Advanced Diagnostics
Unlike traditional MRIs, which capture static images in a supine position, the Open Standing MRI provides real-life, dynamic imaging, aligning with Stavya’s commitment to ethical and evidence-based care.
“Our focus has always been on understanding how the spine functions under load. This technology enables us to make informed decisions on whether a condition requires surgical intervention or conservative management,” said Dr. Mirant Dave, Spine Surgeon at Stavya.
Echoing this sentiment, Dheeraj Nasa, Country Business Director, Esaote Subsidiary, remarked, “The Open Standing MRI reflects our mission to provide innovative diagnostic tools that enhance patient care. We are proud to partner with Stavya Spine Hospital to bring this advanced technology to Gujarat.”

Stavya has also launched Spine Health Checkups, aimed at early detection and prevention of spine issues. The Open Standing MRI is central to these checkups, identifying subtle abnormalities and enabling timely interventions.
“This advanced MRI allows us to tailor rehabilitation programs more effectively, whether for surgical recovery or conservative care,” said Dr. Akruti Dave, Head of Physiotherapy.
