Open-Bore Diagnostic Imaging with the Hitachi Altaire .7T MRI Scanner

Designed for imaging centers and hospital radiology departments that prioritize patient comfort without compromising on image quality, the Hitachi Altaire offers a unique solution. It addresses the common challenge of patient anxiety and claustrophobia associated with traditional closed-bore MRI systems.

This system successfully merges the patient-centric benefits of an open MRI with the performance characteristics often associated with higher-field systems. The Altaire is built around a 0.7T permanent magnet, providing robust imaging capabilities for a wide range of diagnostic applications while maintaining an open, accessible gantry design that accommodates a diverse patient population, including bariatric and pediatric patients.

• System Type: Open MRI Scanner
• Field Strength: 0.7 Tesla
• Gantry Design: Open architecture enhances patient accessibility and comfort.
• Clinical Focus: Provides high-field performance in an open MR environment, suitable for various clinical procedures.

For facilities seeking to expand their MRI services or replace an older system, the Hitachi Altaire represents a powerful and patient-friendly option. Its design can help reduce scan cancellations and improve throughput by creating a more positive imaging experience.
