Toshiba Medical Introduces New MR for Quiet, Comfortable and Complete Exams
To ensure healthcare providers can deliver a quieter and more
comfortable MR exam for every patient, Toshiba
Medical, a Canon (News - Alert) Group company, introduces its newest MR system, the
Vantage Titan™ / Zen Edition 1.5T. The Zen Edition prioritizes
intelligent workflow and patient comfort, providing a complete clinical
offering to help clinicians make accurate diagnoses.
The new system features several patient comfort tools, workflow
enhancements and new clinical applications:
-
Quiet exams for more comfortable patients: Pianissimo™ Zen
prioritizes patient comfort, making scanning even more quiet by
reducing sound during acquisition by 99 percent.1
-
Enhance cardiac workflow: Multi-echo T2* Mapping takes cardiac
workflow one step further. T2 maps with Toshiba (News - Alert) Medical's updated
FFE2D mEcho sequence can be used in quantification and analysis of
myocardial iron overload.
-
Expand cardiac capabilities: T1 mapping that utilizes Modified
Look Locker Inversion (MOLLI) sequence allows providers to acquire a
more quantitative characterization of myocardial tissue within a
single breath hold.
-
Provide more comfortable cardiac exams: Phase Sensitive
Inversion Recovery (PSIR) in the heart providesimproved contrast in
late-enhanced imaging and eliminates the need for calibration,
allowing cardiac exams to be completed with fewer breath holds and
greater patient comfort.
-
Expand clinical capabilities: Ultrashort Echo Time (UTE)
captures images in tissues that generally disappear too quickly for
accurate MR imaging, enabling imaging of anatomy such as the MSK and
lungs to help providers obtain more information to diagnose and treat
their patients.
-
Improve workflow with automatic positioning: Automatic slice
alignment for difficult procedures like cardiac, neuro and spine exams
with EasyTech, which standardizes workflow with automatic positioning
while delivering consistent image quality.
"Toshiba Medical puts customers first by delivering advanced technology
with patient-friendly features, so they can provide exams that are
quiet, comfortable and faster," said Dominic Smith, senior director, CT,
PET/CT, and MR Business Units, Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc.
"The Zen Edition software includes enhancements to a comprehensive suite
of innovative clinical applications, intelligent technology and an
intuitive user interface that increases efficiency and workflow."
