“Canon Medical Systems Corporation (President: Toshio Takiguchi; Headquarters: Otawara, Tochigi, Japan) have today announced the release of a premium 1.5T MRI system, named Vantage Orian, at the upcoming International Technical Exhibition of Medical Imaging 2018 (ITEM) in Yokohama, Japan held from April 12 to 15. Vantage Orian represents a major foray into the premium wide bore 1.5T market along with new technology designed to boost productivity, enhance patient comfort and deliver diagnostic clinical confidence to users and patients alike.

In addition to the current 1.5T line-up of wide-bore Vantage Titan and standard bore Vantage Elan, Vantage Orian 1.5T represents Canon Medical Systems’ premium offering in the 1.5T market segment.

With a new slim gradient that delivers a gradient performance with a maximum amplitude of 45 mT/m combined with a slew rate of 200 T/m/s that enhances high resolution and diffusion imaging, Vantage Orian offers high performance imaging capability previously not available on 1.5T systems from Canon Medical Systems.

Utilizing migrated high end 3T technology, Vantage Orian ensures the ability to offer referring physicians and patients diagnostic MRI imaging services with complete clinical confidence. Canon Medical Systems’ ^PURERF and Saturn Technology means that stable and consistent imaging performance is ensured, increasing signal to noise ratio (SNR) by up to 38%*.

The Vantage Orian offers a range of new Rapid Scan and EasyTech technology that reduces scan time and helps improve workflow, and a redesigned gantry interface and dockable table ensure seamless patient handling. New applications like MultiBand SPEEDER that shortens lengthy acquisitions such as high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI), and up to x8 accelerated k-t SPEEDER allows high frame rate cardiac cine and perfusion imaging with free breathing.

Vantage Orian also offers one of the smallest footprints in the 1.5T wide bore class, low power consumption eco features that reduce energy use by up to 21%*, outstanding reliability and excellent maintenance programs to satisfy the needs of hospital administrators.

A relaxed patient is key in MRI, and Vantage Orian takes care of this with industry leading quiet scan sequences that reduce ambient noise through Pianissimo Zen technology, a 71cm wide bore and immersive virtual MR Theater all designed to put patients at ease. Vantage Orian also addresses challenging patients with Pediatric SPEEDER coils, contrast free applications and ForeSee View for simplified scan planning.

The Vantage Orian can be viewed at the Canon Medical Systems Booth during the ITEM congress inYokohama. Delegates wanting to see the latest 1.5T technology from Canon Medical Systems and hear about what it can do for your facility’s imaging services are encouraged to join us at the booth during the show, where Canon staff will be waiting to guide you through the latest 1.5 MRI offering from Canon Medical Systems.
