  • With Echelon Synergy, Fujifilm’s Deep Learning Reconstruction (powered by Artificial Intelligence) delivers noise reduction with exceptional image quality, resulting in a 50 percent scan time reduction compared to previous-generation MRI systems.
  • The machine’s 70 cm wide bore and 62 cm wide table along with the addition of Blanket RF Technology (featuring multi-channel RF technology and Flex Fit coil technology) ensure optimal image quality, seamless workflow, and enhanced patient comfort, revolutionizing the imaging experience for both patients and clinicians.
  • The Echelon Synergy sets a new standard for imaging homogeneity with HOAST (Higher Order Active Shimming Technology) to facilitate impeccable RF fat saturation and superior large FOV fat suppression in all planes.
  • Its industry-leading RADAR (RADial Acquisition Regime) motion compensation technology enables motion-suppressed images without sedation or excessive patient restraint, applicable to all coils, anatomy and slice planes.
  • The system’s accelerated imaging capabilities, such as IP-RAPID (IterativeRAPID), deliver the fastest visual acquisition across various anatomical regions, including body, neuro and orthopedic scans.
  • Completing the package is SoftSoundTM scan sequences which ensures quiet scanning, dramatically reducing the audible noise of MR scans and enhancing patient comfort.
