The Hitachi AIRIS II provides state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging capabilities with a number of unique features and benefits:

• Complete array of RF coils imaging technique protocols for superb resolution and tissue contrast in:
  • Brain and orbit applications
  • Spine applications
  • Musculoskeletal applications
  • Abdomen/pelvis applications
  • Chest and cardiac applications
• Magnetic resonance angiography for those patients needing evaluation of the intracranial circulation, carotid arteries, renal arteries, etc.
• Accommodates motion imaging in the patient’s position of pain (e.g., shoulder imaging with the patient’s shoulder abducted, or cervical spine imaging with the spine imaged in flexion and extension).
• Can perform breast imaging for evaluation of possible breast augmentation implant rupture with the patient lying supine, rather than in the prone position as required by other scanners.
• Allows scanning of acute patients, including critical care patients needing airway management.
• Allows studies on larger patients where MRI may not previously have been an option, due to accommodation of their size.

• A new concept magnet design, which is completely open on both sides as well as the front and back. The unique Open-Air design provides greater patient comfort during scanning and helps to minimize claustrophobic effect.
• Soft-Sound™ gradients which aid in minimizing patient anxiety.
• Soft-Touch™ coils for patient comfort.
