Toshiba America Medical Systems Inc. has enhanced its Vantage Titan Magnetic Resonance product line with new features that improve workflow, image quality and patient comfort.
"These new technologies make MR exams more comfortable for patients and increase workflow for our customers," said Beverly Plost, director, MR Business Unit, Toshiba.
The company's enhancements to the Vantage Titan product line include:
- --- Flexible Coils: The high-density, 16ch Flex Speeder coils conform closer to the patient’s anatomy, improving signal-to-noise ratio for enhanced image quality, executives claim. The light-weight coils are available in medium and large sizes and are designed for general orthopedic and body imaging.
- --- 3T 32ch Head Speeder Coil: The 32ch Head Speeder coil improves image quality for high-end neuro applications in 3T imaging, such as fMRI and diffusion tensor imaging, with high signal-to-noise ratio and high spatial and temporal resolution.
- --- Rapid Transport System (RTS): The light-weight and easy-to-maneuver RTS is designed to transport patients to the MRI suite for scanning without the need for repositioning, improving workflow and throughput. The RTS docks over the MR system’s couch so the patient stays on one table during the entire imaging process.
