The Vantage Atlas is a very compact 1.5 Tesla MRI system that combines an ultra short bore of only 149 cm with a spacious bore aperture of 65.5 cm. Usually MR examinations are organ specific, which means that coils used to be developed for dedicated examinations. Therefore coil exchange prior to each new examination was common practice reducing the efficiency in workflow. Toshiba addressed this issue through the development of the Atlas coil concept, introduced on this scanner.
The Vantage Atlas is a very compact 1.5 Tesla MRI system that combines an ultra short bore of only 149 cm with a spacious bore aperture of 65.5 cm. Through the use of a magnet that comprises multi windings a very wide scan field of 55 x 55 x 50 cm (X x Y x Z ) with a superb homogeneity is ensured.
