Toshiba Vantage Atlas MRI Machine

The Toshiba Vantage Atlas MRI machine is the world’s first 128-element, RF-integrated coil MRI system. With features an ultra short and ultra wide bore that provides comfortable ventilation and lighting for patients. latest MRI technologies that provide you with fast, quiet and accurate imaging. very compact MRI machine. 90 percent reduction in acoustic noise with the Pianissimo gradient enclosure, and Toshiba's latest workflow-optimizing Atlas coil technology. boasts exceptional patient comfort, excellent high resolution imaging acquisition and processing, and the new Atlas coil technology built for efficiency and speed, optimizing workflow and patient throughput. The system is capable of performing coronary MR angiography procedures to detect, diagnose and aid the treatment of heart disorders and blood vessel diseases. With a large clinical field of view (FOV) of 55 x 55 x 50cm, the Atlas meets clinical demands for an MRI system and delivers high-resolution images across the entire body – particularly images crucial for detecting coronary artery disease: veins in the leg, renal arteries and pulmonary circulation. consist of multi-sized elements designed to capture discreet MR signals from cardiac anatomy.

The Atlas’ advantage is its ability to perform coronary studies via MR with single breath hold and non-contrast imaging techniques, which can also be utilized to image the peripheral and renal vessels, including arterial and venous circulations.

The Vantage Atlas puts patient comfort first. Its optional 205cm acquisition range allows for feet-first imaging for the entire body, except the neck and head, alleviating claustrophobia concerns of many patients undergoing MR exams.

Vantage MRI: Unmatched Clinical Performance

Featuring some of the most advanced MRI applications available in the industry, the Vantage offers a wide range of optional packages, including advanced Echo Planar Imaging, Diffusion and Perfusion Imaging, Peripheral Angiography utilizing Fresh Blood Imaging (FBI), SuperFASE (Fast Advanced Spin Echo) Imaging and Body Vision, diffusion-weighted imaging optimized for the trunk and torso. 

In addition, Toshiba’s SPEEDER parallel imaging allows for increased acquisition speed and reduced examination times. It is also able to determine the hemodynamics – without the use of contrast media — of selective vessels with high image quality using Time-SLIP (Spatial Labeling Inversion Pulse) technology, and offers better separation of arterial and venous blood flows with Contrast-free Improved Angiography (CIA).

Philips Achieva 1.5 T MRI Machine

Philips Achieva 1.5T XR MRI Machine

The Achieva 1.5T XR by Philips is the only 1.5T MRI Scan Machine that can be upgraded to a 3.0T without swapping the magnet. This allows a clinic or hospital to install an advanced 1.5T system for use today and providing the flexibility to transition into a 3.0T MRI machine in the future. This MRI machine also provides physicians a simple way to transition to 3.0T that makes economic sense. It is more cost effective and efficient than a traditional “forklift” upgrade, which requires system down time, possible construction and the “heavy lifting” associated with room reconfigurations to install a new magnet, power system and gradients.

The Achieva 1.5T XR is equipped with proven X-series technology. It provides high resolution at maximum speed to cover advanced applications. This MRI machine includes all of the advanced tools and features of the Achieva 1.5T (SmartExam, expanded multi-channel SENSE coil portfolio, & FreeWave platform) plus much of the same sophisticated technology of the Acheiva 3.0T X series. 

The Philips Achieva 1.5T A-Series MRI machine offers premium performance for advanced clinical applications such as 3D cardiac imaging and 4D imaging. The Philips Achieva 1.5T A-Series MRI machine also features Philips' SmartExam technology which provides automated scanning, planning and processing for increased productivity.

The Philips Achieva 1.5T SE MRI machine is a low-cost, compact MR imaging system with a patient-friendly design. A scalable RF receiver, parallel imaging, powerful gradients and a large field of view are standard. The Philips Achieva 1.5T SE MRI also features PowerSave, which ensures the machine uses energy only when needed. PowerSave can reduce your energy costs as much as 50% over comparable MRI systems.

The Philips Achieva 1.5T MRI scanner is a very powerful system featuring high intrinsic homogeneity and a lightweight design. FreeWave digital data acquisition platform comes standard with the Philips Achieva 1.5T MRI scanner, providing it access to Philips' latest and most innovative clinical applications.
