Echelon
The new standard in 1.5 Tesla MRI
Echelon is a fully featured high-field performance MRI, incorporating powerful imaging tools to meet your current and future demands. Its core is a high- performance, short-bore, super-conductive magnet with high homogeneity and low cryogenic boil-off.
Echelon is extremely practical, reliable and easy to use. This is a prime example of a product which has benefited from Hitachi's experience and technological superiority, gained as the global leader in open MRI, with more than 4,000 installations.

Hover over each coil's name to display a diagram indicating the corresponding application area:
 High resolution non- contrast Angiography image of abdominal vessels. MIP reconstruction of BASG sequence- Hitachi HOSS allows large 50cm FOV imaging with excellent homogenous fat saturation. RAPID factor 2. |
 Volume Rendering reconstruction of 3D TOF brain angiography. RAPID factor 1.5 allows acquisition of 200 slices in 1:33 minute to visualize brain arterio-vascular malformation. |
 This high resolution (reconstruction matrix 1024x1024) T1 FSE transversal scan acquired in only 2:23 minutes with slice thickness 2mm and FOV of 9cm allows sub-millimetre in-plane resolution for detailed anatomy visualization. |
 High resolution FLAIR image of the brain - cerebral infarction hyper-intensive foci in both hemispheres of brain (predominantly in left one) visible with short IET of 10 ms and scan time of 3minutes. |
 PD-weighted FSE transversal image of the knee with recurrent dislocation of the patella - excellent fat saturation due to HOSS technique, sub-millimetre in-plane resolution. |
 MIP reconstruction of 3D thick slab high resolution FSE MRCP sequence with Driven Equilibrium and Respiratory Gating options shows serous cystoma/adenoma of bile duct. |
