VIENNA, March 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Hitachi Medical Systems Europe is proud to announce the
new generation of OASIS＊ at
ECR 2015 - the open high-field 1.2T MRI with enhanced processing
power will set a benchmark for patient-centric care. The new
features of OASIS help to overcome obstacles and prevent delays
whilst optimizing workflow management and costs. OASIS demonstrates
the high levels of efficiency, quality, patient comfort and safety
for imaging in Neurology, Orthopaedics, Paediatrics, Oncology,
Vascular and General Imaging, as well as Men's and Women's Health
applications. Easy patient access makes OASIS highly suitable for
interventional procedures. "We are very pleased to bring with the
new generation of OASIS our patient-centric philosophy to new
levels in open high-field MRI," said Mr Keiichi Yusa, Director of the MR/CT Division,
Hitachi Medical Systems Europe.

Outstanding patient comfort
The 270° viewing angle allows the patient an unobstructed
panoramic view and a positive examination experience.
Simultaneously, the operator has a clear view of the progress of
the complete scanning procedure. The spacious set-up and calming
atmosphere put claustrophobic, paediatric and bariatric patients up
to 300 kg at ease and the peaceful, ambient illuminated gantry
helps to relax patients. The extra wide patient table (82 cm) with
in-gantry lateral movement, modern SoftSound technology for silent
gradients and multiple coil connections offer efficient support for
the operator allowing rapid, patient-friendly exams.
Power for high efficiency
OASIS offers a highly advanced imaging platform, equipped with
workflow-oriented features and advanced clinical capabilities. The
Origin Clinical Study Library, Graphical User Interface (GUI),
Intelligent Parameter Guidance and Real-time Image Quality
Calculator make planning of even the most complex examinations
easy. Simultaneous scan, reconstruction and multi-tasked image
processing keep throughput high and interoperability features
ensure seamless PACS integration.
Next-level imaging capabilities to drive efficiency and
quality
AutoPose automatically determines and places optimal main scan
slice locations, ensuring high reproducibility and improving
consistency in sequence planning - one button click examination.
Isotropic volume acquisition (isoFSE 3D) with high SNR and
resolution allows the reconstruction of slices in any plane, in any
tissue contrast and in any anatomy - one scan for unlimited images.
Additive Arrangement Gradient Echo (ADAGE) uses combinations of
multiple echoes to create high SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) and CNR
(Contrast to Noise Ratio) images with reduced chemical shift -
improved grey/white matter differentiation and fluid/cartilage
visualization. A flexible, user selectable reconstruction matrix
provides optimized image resolution.
Unique design and advantages at a glance
The innovative unique open and wide patient platform of the 1.2T
high-field MRI is designed to increase patient comfort and reduce
blur. "Putting patients at ease means reducing the need for repeat
scans and decreases scan time while promoting higher diagnostic
image quality. The open architecture is a truly valued and
complementary tool for healthcare providers who have an array of
scanners but consider this flexibility to be an essential offering
for their service," said Mr Keiichi
Yusa. "OASIS allows imaging centres and clinics to perform
their exams more comfortably and efficiently."
