Technology
The Vantage™ MRI system from Toshiba America Medical Systems is
designed to improve the patient experience with
new, exclusive patient comfort features. Highlights
include the world’s shortest magnet and an ultra-short bore platform,
which offers greater openness for claustrophobic
patients by minimizing the
feeling of being inserted into a tube-like machine.
In addition, the system is equipped with Toshiba’s patented Pianissimo™ noise
reduction technology, which effectively reduces
scan noise by as much as 90 percent.
In addition to its patient comfort features, the
Vantage is a high-field MRI system that performs
a wide variety of MRI exams including the latest
state-of-the-art imaging techniques. For example,
the system enables physicians to perform studies
including cardiac imaging, EPI functional perfusion,
and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Using
an advanced MRA technique, physicians can simultaneously
view images of vascular structures in the chest
and abdomen without the use of contrast agents,
which furthers patient comfort, reduces cost and
allows the scan to be performed repeatedly, if
needed.
