Release of Toshiba 1.5T MRI System, Vantage Titan / cS Edition, announced by Toshiba Medical Systems:

Outline
Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation (President: Toshio Takiguchi; Headquarters: Otawara, Tochigi, Japan) has launched global sales of the Toshiba 1.5-tesla MRI system Vantage Titan™ / cS Edition. Cardiac imaging with MRI is one of the most challenging examinations. The cS Edition achieves significant improvements in the efficiency of cardiac examinations, while acquiring high-resolution images during daily clinical practice with the use of the latest intelligent solutions. This system meets a diverse clinical requirement while expanding the range of day-to-day examinations.



Development background
The Vantage Titan system has been developed with the concept to perform advanced examinations while improving patient comfort with user-friendly technologies. Toshiba’s Vantage Titan maintains robust image quality even with the wide-bore concept. The system has been recognized worldwide as a wide-bore MRI system that permits a high image quality in wide scan range. The cS Edition is equipped with a number of cutting-edge technologies for more advanced and efficient examinations. Toshiba is proud to offer the Complete Clinical Solution (cS) to Enhance your daily clinical demands.

Features of the new product

1. High-resolution images through enhanced flexibility
In the cS Edition, we have expanded clinical applications with a "New Sequence Design Environment" which enables flexible parameter change with a diverse pulse control, achieves further image quality enhancement.

For example, in Flow Sensitive Black Blood (FSBB) sequence, an independent MPG-pulse can control the strength on the phase, frequency, and slice direction. In addition, it is now possible to perform weighted processing on phase images while displaying the original phase image. As a result, finer details of narrowing blood vessels and variations in susceptibility can be easily determined.

Now the system supports Multi b-value diffusion with the cS Edition while implementing automatic calculation of isotropic images for each b-value. Beyond offering the freedom to choose different b-values, the operator can utilize the Multi b-values for cDWI based upon the clinical region of interest.

When utilizing FFE3D sequence, flexibility is increased by linking multiple parameters such as bandwidths, sampling rates, resolution, and image cross-section. The sequence increases the SNR and T1 contrast to improve diagnostic quality.
