Hitachi Medical Systems America Ltd. said Monday that a Cincinnati imaging center now houses the world's first commercial installation of its new MRI with an oval-shaped bore.

The Echelon Oval 1.5-Tesla MRI, cleared by the Food and Drug Administration in May, was installed at a Cincinnati center of ProScan Imaging, a 24-center imaging chain in the eastern United States.

The Echelon Oval boasts a 74-centimeter oval-shaped bore, touted by Hitachi as the among the widest bores in the industry. Most wide-bore MRIs have 70-centimeter openings.

You don’t have to invest heavily in CT technology to achieve your Coronary CTA goals

Fast-moving cardiac structures have a big impact on imaging. Fujifilm’s SCENARIA View premium performance CT brings solutions to address motion in Coronary CTA while delivering unique dose saving and workflow increasing benefits.

Hitachi says the wider open is meant to make scans easier for claustrophobic or heavier patients.
