ECHELON™ Smart Plus

SmartCOMFORT

Patient-friendly Quiet Examination

Quiet examination with SoftSound

Various technologies exist to reduce MRI acoustic noise. However, reducing acoustic noise often compromise on image quality and may extend scan time, making it unsuitable for routine examination. Other approaches need dedicated hardware. Our SoftSound noise reduction technology reduces the acoustic noise by up to 96%*1maintaining image quality and scan time, and without any dedicated hardware.

SmartECO

Ecological and Economical Running Cost

Minimizing unnecessary power consumption

Generally, superconductive MRI system is known with its high running cost. This cost is mainly due to the high power consumption of the cooling system necessary to maintain superconductivity. ECHELON Smart Plus is equipped with SmartECO, an energy saving function that can stop the cooling system for a certain length of time during periods of non-use. This function effectively reduces the power consumption while maintaining zero boiling off of the helium. Moreover, as the heat emission from the cooling system decreases during these periods, the power consumption of its heat-dissipating unit is also reduced.

SmartSPACE

Small Footprint Flexible Layout

Flexible layout even in limited space

It is often a matter of concern whether there is sufficient space in the equipment room for a superconductive MRI system installation.

ECHELON Smart Plus can remove such obstacles during installation.
