Hitachi SMILE 0.7T Open MRI System
AMERICA North (USA-Canada-Mexico)
The Hitachi SMILE 0.7T Open MRI is a specialized diagnostic imaging system engineered
to provide a superior patient experience without compromising on image quality.
The system’s open architecture is a key feature, as it significantly reduces the
claustrophobia and anxiety often associated with traditional closed-bore scanners.
This makes it an excellent choice for a diverse patient population, including children,
elderly patients, and those with larger body types. While “SMILE” may be a
marketing name for an open MRI, it typically indicates a system with
patient-friendly features. Systems like this are often equipped with
a 0.7 Tesla superconducting magnet and a robust set of imaging applications,
delivering clear, detailed images for orthopedic, neurological, and abdominal studies.
Key Features:
Open Architecture: The spacious, open design enhances patient comfort
and accessibility.
Magnetic Field: Typically a 0.7 Tesla superconducting magnet, providing a
balance of image quality and patient-friendly design.
Applications: Supports a wide range of clinical studies, including brain,
spine, and musculoskeletal imaging.
Image Quality: Advanced imaging technology to produce clear, detailed images.
Workflow: Streamlined processes to maximize patient throughput and efficiency.
Technical Specifications:
