HITACHI ALTAIRE OPEN MRI SCANNER

Altaire’s superconducting 0.7T magnet and powerful subsystems provide many of the advanced capabilities found on lower tier 1.5T systems including parallel imaging, DWI, whole body RF fat sat, time resolved MRA and more.

This performance is coupled with Hitachi’s unique gantry design and large vertical opening, improved patient comfort and expanded clinical utility to Open MRI.

Maximum advantage of coil technology, vertical field magnet and rapid gradient system.

Altaire High-Field Open MRI offers the best imaging because of its superior contrast, differentiation between muscle, fat, vessels, tendons, ligament, cartilage, cortical bone, and marrow bone space.

Ultra-wide open gantry is designed for ideal demanding cases such as anxious, claustrophobic and larger patient and reduces patient stress.

Superior image quality and diagnostic performance to all other open MRI systems. Also enhances patient comfort and facilitates ease of scanning.

50% faster patient study times than other MRI system with advanced technology for superb image resolution.

Patient friendly, wide-open design offers a panoramic view out all four sides to create a relaxing environment.
