Toshiba has received FDA clearance for its Vantage Titan 3 Tesla open bore MRI scanner. The system features Pianissimo, Toshiba’s noise-reduction technology, which minimizes exam noise by up to 90 percent, making this scanner the quietest 3T scanner on the market. It has a 71 cm (28 inch) wide semi-open bore, enabling easier scanning of bariatric patients and reducing claustrophobia. The table has integrated coils which reduce the need for re-positioning.
It also comes with several proprietary advanced contrast-free MR-angiography techniques: Fresh Blood Imaging (FBI) for evaluating peripheral vascular diseases of the lower legs and extremities; Contrast-free Improved Angiography (CIA – we’re loving these acronyms) for easier visualization of smaller vessels; Time-Spatial Labeling Inversion Pulse (Time-SLIP) for evaluating hemodynamic, functional assessments and visualization of vascular structures; and Time Space Angiography (TSA) for creating non-contrast time-resolved imaging with high temporal resolution.
