Product Details
1. 75 cm Ultra-Wide Bore
The defining feature of the uMR Omega is its 75 cm ultra-wide bore, which is significantly wider than the conventional 60–70 cm MRI bore.
United Imaging describes the uMR Omega as the world's first ultra-wide-bore 3T MRI system with a 75 cm aperture. Compared with a 70 cm bore, the larger aperture provides approximately 15% more patient space.
The wider opening can improve accessibility for:
· Obese patients

The uMR Omega supports patients weighing up to 310 kg (681 lbs).
The patient table measures:
· 262 cm in length
· 64 cm in width
· 88 cm in height
This combination of a wide bore and high table load capacity is designed to expand MRI accessibility for larger patients.
The system also supports a maximum FOV of 60 × 60 × 50 cm³, providing flexibility for large-area imaging.
3. High-Performance Gradient System
Despite its ultra-wide bore, the uMR Omega maintains high gradient performance.
The system provides:
45 mT/m maximum gradient amplitude
and
200 T/m/s maximum slew rate
These specifications provide the gradient performance required for advanced diffusion imaging, high-resolution anatomical imaging and accelerated MRI applications.
The high-performance gradient system is particularly useful for:
· DTI
· DWI
· High-resolution 3D imaging
· Vascular imaging
· Neurological MRI
· Fast orthopedic MRI
· Whole-body MRI
4. High Field Homogeneity
The uMR Omega combines its 75 cm bore with a highly homogeneous 3.0T magnetic field.
United Imaging lists a typical field homogeneity of:
0.029 ppm @ 30 cm DSV
The high homogeneity is particularly important for wide-FOV imaging because variations in the magnetic field can negatively affect image uniformity and fat suppression.
The system is designed to provide consistent image quality across a large field of view and support skin-to-skin fat saturation for wide-field imaging.
5. uAIFI AI Imaging Platform
The uMR Omega is built around the uAIFI Technology Platform, which integrates AI throughout the MRI imaging chain.
The platform combines AI technologies for:
· Data acquisition
· Image reconstruction
· Patient sensing
· Scan acceleration
· Workflow automation
· Post-processing
Two of the most important technologies are ACS and DeepRecon.
United Imaging describes this combination as a Dual AI Engine, with ACS operating during acquisition and DeepRecon enhancing reconstruction.
6. ACS AI-Assisted Compressed Sensing
ACS (AI-assisted Compressed Sensing) is United Imaging's AI-powered MRI acceleration technology.
It combines multiple acceleration approaches, including:
· Compressed Sensing (CS)
· High-frequency information
· Parallel Imaging (PI)
· Deep learning
The objective is to balance scan speed and image quality.
According to United Imaging, ACS can allow users to:
· Improve image quality without significantly increasing scan time
· Reduce scan time while maintaining image quality
· Acquire higher-resolution images within shorter examinations
· Reduce motion artifacts
· Increase patient throughput
The official page also describes body-part acquisitions within approximately 100 seconds under specified conditions. Actual scan time varies by protocol and examination.
7. DeepRecon AI Reconstruction
DeepRecon is the AI reconstruction component of the uAIFI platform.
It is designed to improve image quality by using deep learning during image reconstruction.
When combined with ACS, the system creates an AI-powered imaging chain extending from acquisition to reconstruction.
This can help achieve:
· Higher image quality
· Improved image sharpness
· Better visualization of small anatomical structures
· Shorter scanning times
· Reduced motion artifacts
United Imaging specifically highlights ACS + DeepRecon for rapid brain imaging, high-resolution 3D imaging and accelerated whole-spine examinations.
8. EasySense Contactless Respiratory Sensing
EasySense is a contactless respiratory monitoring technology based on a dual-source millimeter-wave radar system.
Unlike traditional respiratory belts, EasySense does not require a belt to be attached to the patient.
It can monitor respiratory movement during MRI examinations and support respiratory-gated imaging.
This is particularly useful for:
· Abdominal MRI
· Free-breathing imaging
· Pediatric examinations
· Elderly patients
· Patients who have difficulty holding their breath
The uMR Omega uses EasySense to support high-resolution abdominal MRI without breath-holding.
