In addition to bariatric and diabetic patient needs, CMMC also uses the Titan MR for general patient imaging, including head, neck, spine, knee and abdominal/pelvis exams.

"Central Mississippi Medical Center's utilization of Toshiba's Vantage Titan and proprietary non-contrast MRA techniques demonstrates the real-world effectiveness in comfortably imaging bariatric patients while eliminating the risks of gadolinium-based contrast agents," said Doug Ryan, vice president, Marketing and Strategic Development, Toshiba. "Toshiba recognizes the challenges of imaging bariatric patients and develops imaging systems with features to more effectively serve the needs of these patients."
