It encompasses high sensitivity, solenoid type receiver coils, new gradient magnetic field systems and improved static magnetic field uniformity. AIRIS Light uses a vertical magnetic [Solenoid type receiver coil intensity distribution] field and solenoid type receiver coils. These coils are around 40% more sensitive than Solenoid type receiver coil High Sensitivity Low the receiver coils of horizontal magnetic field systems. They provide a wide FOV, even when using a surface coil. 2 Advanced Gradient Coil System Gradient magnetic field strength Response deterioration Magnetic circuit Ideal characteristics Precision deterioration Time Conductive pole piece Eddy current Suppressing eddy currents in the gradient coil system is key to providing stable high quality images. Eddy currents can cause deformation of the gradient magnetic field waveform which results in a direct deterioration of image quality. Hitachi not only uses materials that have low eddy current susceptibility but have also developed the ECC (Eddy Current Control) feature that predicts and controls eddy current generation. 4 5 Patient-centric Design AIRIS Light's innovative design allows patients to be accompanied by a friend or relative during scanning to help them feel at ease, extending MRI imaging opportunities in the anxious patient. Laterally Aligned Table The adoption of AIRIS Light s laterally Gradient magnetic field strength Ideal characteristics Response improvement Time SuperShim Uniformity of the static magnetic field is a crucial requirement in MRI. SuperShim is equipped with both a linear and high order shimming function. This feature is able to correct for static magnetic field aligned table results in a combination of a compact foot print and ease of use. The free-floating table top enables quick positioning of the target region to the centre of the magnetic field, providing high-quality isocentric imaging. In addition, the range of lateral Pole piece inhomogeneity which is impossible to adjust adequately by linear shimming table movement allows easy positioning of peripheral anatomy, such as the alone.
