Hitachi Leadership. As Expansive As Our Open MR Technologies…

MRP-7000It is 1990. And the MRP-7000 offered the first truly high-performance combination of patient comfort with excellent image quality and advanced capabilities.

AIRIS Introduced in 1994, the revolutionary open magnet design, advanced imaging features and continuous enhancements enable the AIRIS family to continue as the mid-field Open MRI standard.

Altaire Established in 2000, Altaire’s superconductive, self-shielded magnet design and advanced RF coil technology drives excellent image quality with a broad range of applications.

Why Hitachi? Proven success.

The benefits of patient satisfaction, throughput and assurance of quality imaging that come with a high-performance, truly open MRI platform from the open MRI leader.

Hitachi Medical Systems America introduced its first open MRI in 1989, establishingthe commitment to quality, ease-of-use and enduring value at the foundation of Oasis.

And now, Oasis connects high field performance with high clinician and patient satisfaction. Assuring success with image quality, ease-of-use and operational efficiency. To realize the benefits of open technology, go with the Hitachi vertical field magnet advancements:

• HOAST™ (Higher Order Active Shim Technology) maintains excellent field uniformity• Active shielding contains the magnetic fringe field and minimizes the magnet weight• A single cryocooler for high reliability and long intervals between required maintenance

Hitachi Advancements Continue on as Best . . . and First.

Unparalleled Leadership in the Science of Imaging.

Each Clinical Advancement with the Patient Experience in Mind.Oasis is the highest field-strength vertical field magnet. Adding to this, over 20 years of Hitachi MRI advancements nets a truly open system that puts many advantages in your hands.

As magnet strengths increase, only Hitachi can meet the demanding design and engineering requirements for a true vertical field, truly open technology for advanced studies and image quality. And only a true vertical field provides the reliability, speed and throughput you’re looking for in a patient experience that adds value to your enterprise.

Oasis vertical field technology provides an open advantage in patient satisfaction and comfort. Anxious and elderly, large and small all approach an Oasis without apprehension. It is the welcoming nature of this comfortable environment that provides an optimal imaging experience for all patients.

Every patient, every time.

The Power of Vertical Field Puts the Patient in High Resolution.

OPENHigh Image Quality and Throughput Standards for MR Imaging. Without Compromising the Patient Experience.

NeuroSuiteThe vital pulse sequences, acquisition features and post processing tools for high-quality imaging of head/neck and spinal structures are standard on Oasis. The Oasis powerful gradient system coupled with RAPID™ imaging results in short scan times for high throughput.

RADAR™ — Radial k-space acquisition techniques for neuro applications suppress motion artifacts and offer excellent contrast — for all planes and all coils — applicable to FSE, FIR, BASG and SE.

VascularSuiteOptimal clinical flexibility defines Oasis. Conventional 2D/3D TOF and advanced acquisition techniques such as Time Resolved MRA (TRAQ™) and 3D vessel post processing features provide the tools you need in this fast-growing application segment.

VASC™ — Non contrast MRA sequence provides an excellent alternative to peripheral bolus MRA for patients with renal insufficiency.

Take a look at the day ahead. Clinical demand for high-performance imaging on your schedule is met by the Oasis Suite of diagnostic applications. And with the high image quality every clinician expects.

OrthoSuiteOnly the Oasis can deliver the very high field strength and truly open architecture enabling exquisite orthopedic imaging. Inherent high SNR potential promotes high spatial resolution critical for this application, while permitting all anatomy to be imaged at isocenter for remarkable RF fat saturation.

Reliable uniform RF fat saturation from HOAST (Higher Order Active Shim Technology) and the ability to position the anatomy of interest at the magnet’s isocenter are Oasis hallmarks.

BodySuite The exceptional power of Oasis is demonstrated in this demanding and fastest-growing group of applications. High SNR from a 1.2T magnet and Zenith RF coil technology is complemented by the TIGRE fast, fat-suppressed imaging sequences and Hitachi’s all coil/all plane motion compensating RADAR technique. 2D and 3D protocols for abdomen, pelvis, MRCP and dynamic liver imaging techniques are all standard.

TIGRE™ and TIGRE C — standard fast T1 weighted 3D Gradient Echo sequence with fat suppression enables the combination of high-spatial and high-temporal resolution for outstanding dynamic liver and breast imaging.

The multi-channel design enables application from dynamic abdominal breath holds to cardiac with RAPID parallel imaging.

Patient comfort is complimented by an ultra fast, high-resolution brain imaging capability that drives image quality and workflow benefits.

Volumetric solenoid coil sensitivity and RAPID parallel imaging provide excellent C-spine imaging capability. Even with kyphotic patients.

The inclusion of a through-arm loop with comfort pads delivers an outstanding axiliary penetration and coil stability.
