Toshiba opens $3 million MR training center

Toshiba America Medical Systems Inc. said Wednesday that it opened a $3 million MRI educational center in Southern California to allow customers to get hands-on training on Toshiba MR equipment.

The Toshiba MR Research Center is based in Irvine, about a 15-minute drive from Tustin, where Toshiba's U.S. medical branch is headquartered.

The new center will be used both for conducting MR research and for giving clients training on new imaging techniques. The center would also give would-be purchasers a chance to test drive the million-dollar machines before placing an order, Toshiba said in its press release.

Ensure critical devices are ready to go

Keep biomedical devices ready to go, so care teams can be ready to care for patients. GE HealthCare’s ReadySee™ helps overcome frustrations due to lack of network and device visibility, manual troubleshooting, and downtime.

Toshiba said it also plans to rotate-in new equipment every year.
