“This can be used for automated scans but is also good for reproducibility, taking the technologist’s variable out of the scanning.”Īnother technology that Canon has introduced in 2019 is FSE Dixon, a sequence that allows for the acquisition of as many as four contrasts-in phase, out of phase, water only, and fat only-at once, with the goal being to provide doctors with more information behind a single scan. “The scanner will do a quick localizer, and a computer will analyze the scout and then can automatically determine the planes that need to be prescribed,” Furuyama says. Those are ideas that Canon had in mind when launching the Vantage Orian, its latest 1.5 T system, at RSNA 2018. “A lot of new features are tailored towards the different types of patients, but manufacturers are also deploying different sorts of technology that help improve workflow, whether that be automation or faster-type scanning,” Furuyama says. Jonathan Furuyama, senior manager in the MR business unit for Canon Medical Systems, says there’s a lot of talk in 2019 about maximizing efficiency and adapting to the nuances of different patients.
In this article, Radiology Today checks in with some of the major manufacturers to find out what they are doing in the space. The shorter exam times increase patient comfort, minimize movement, and increase diagnostic confidence.” “With new compression techniques for MR, we can achieve significant increases in the speed of MRI exams without compromising image quality. “It’s a very exciting time for MRI technology, as imaging is often the start of a patient’s care journey and supports critical clinical decisions from prevention through treatment across the care continuum,” says Martijn Hartjes, head of global product marketing, MRI for Philips Healthcare. The latest innovations in MRI are focused on advances in speed, comfort, and confidence. The growing need for MRI is driving productive technological advances.Īs the role of MRI has grown, original equipment manufacturers have continued to innovate and strive for a higher standard of care for more users.
