Canon Medical’s Compressed SPEEDER MR Technology Helps Clinicians Reduce Scan Time While Maintaining Image Resolution

Available on the Vantage Galan™ 3T and Vantage Orian™ 1.5T*, the technology speeds up MRI scan times by up to four times by reconstructing full resolution images from highly under-sampled data and shorter scans. The technology provides exceptional image quality and has great potential to help clinicians improve productivity. Reduced scan times also enhance patient comfort, which in turn produces higher quality images by mitigating patient movement caused by patient discomfort during long scans.

“In advanced imaging, generating high quality images and shortening scan times are paramount to success for both the patient and physician,” said Jonathan Furuyama, managing director, MR Business Unit, Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc. “With the help of this new advanced imaging technology and Canon Medical’s innovative MR systems, health care providers can produce high resolution images, while providing a quick and comfortable exam experience for their patients.”
