After being a leader in the OPEN MRI market, Hitachi has powered its way into developing the high Tesla MRI system. The Echolon, a premium 1.5T MRI system with cutting edge technology is the latest in its class. The introduction of the 1.5T provides a complete range of MRI systems to choose from while Hitachi continues its leadership in OPEN MRI systems.




High resolution non-contrast Angiography image of abdominal vessels. MIP reconstruction of BASG sequence - Hitachi HOSS allows large 50cm FOV imaging with excellent homogenous fat saturation. RAPID factor 2.

Volume Rendering reconstruction of 3D TOF brain angiography. RAPID factor 1.5 allows acquisition of 200 slices in 1:33 minute to visualise brain arterio-vascular malformation.

High resolution FLAIR image of the brain - cerebral infarction hyper-intensive foci in both hemispheres of brain (predominantly in left one) visible with short IET of 10 ms and scan time of 3 minutes.
