Hitachi’s Echelon 1.5T is a premiere value in MRI. A reliable imaging tool, Echelon delivers excellent image quality and RF fat saturation with workflow advantages in patient setup, motion compensation, and image processing. With the short-bore gantry and small footprint, Echelon offers a simple solution for customer’s upgrading or replacing equipment.
A staple of performance in many imaging centers, Echelon has established a long track record of operational reliability along with patient comfort and safety.
High uniformity is an essential component to high image quality and consistent fat saturation. Echelon delivers 0.5 ppm homogeneity in a 30cm DSV (volume) - a large highly uniform imaging volume - combined with Hitachi’s HOAST patient specific higher order shimming capability. Offering two levels of shimming enable exquisite RF fat saturation, without forcing patients to maintain uncomfortable positions (e.g. “superman” position for fat saturated wrist imaging).
