MRI : Echelon

Echelon Image


After being a leader in the OPEN MRI market, Hitachi has powered its way into developing the high Tesla MRI system. The Echelon, 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.

Clinical Images

Echelon Clinical Image

Parkinson's disease (T2WI with RADAR).

Hitachi RADAR is effective for suppressing artifacts caused by the motion of patients. Using RADAR, motion artifact can be reduced on brain image successfully.

Echelon Clinical Image

Body Axial (T2WI with RADAR)

RADAR is also effective for suppressing artifacts caused by involuntary body movements by heartbeats or respiration. With the use of RADAR, images for which quality is equal to those with the respiratory gating can be acquired without taking extra time.

Echelon Clinical Image

Cervical spondylosis deformans (PrimeFSE)

PrimeFSE is a sequence that automatically optimizes the echo allocation in the k-space. The gap between adjacent echoes has been decreased by the minimized IET, resulting In the reduction of artifact.

Echelon Clinical Image

Head and neck area FLUTE image

With FLUTE, excellent images can be acquired in contrast-enhanced MRA (CE-MRA). The signal to fill the central part of the k-space (low-frequency components), which significantly influences the contrast deemed crucial in CE-MRA, is obtained fast so as to acquire excellent images.

Echelon Clinical Image

Breast TIGRE image

With the use of TIGRE, high-resolution dynamic imaging of abdominal and breast regions is possible with faster and clearer image acquisition.
