Hitachi Medical Systems America, recognized as an innovator in patient- friendly MR solutions, will highlight advanced high-field clinical applications for OASIS™ 1.2T and Echelon™ XLS 1.5T. Showcased will be advances in high resolution dynamic breast imaging with TIGRE™, comprehensive motion compensated free-breathing abdominal studies with RADAR™, Non-Contrast MRA with VASC™, Brain ischemia Assessment with Advanced NeuroSuite, and White Matter Disease Assessment with Diffusion TensorSuite.
