• Hitachi Oasis MRI system Product Usage: Hitachi MR system is an imaging device and is intended to provide the physician with physiological and clinical information, obtained non-invasively and without the use of ionizing radiation. The Oasis system produces transverse, coronal, sagittal, oblique, and curved crosssectional images that display the internal structure of the head, body, or extremities. The images produced by the MR systems reflect the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) exhibiting magnetic resonance. The NMR properties that determine the image appearance are proton density, spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), spin-spin relaxation time (T2), and flow. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in diagnosis determination.
• Hitachi Scenaria CT system Product Usage: The SCENARIA CT system is indicated for head, whole body, cardiac and vascular X-ray Computed Tomography applications in patients of all ages. The images can be acquired in either axial, helical, gated or dynamic modes. The volume datasets acquired by the SCENARIA can be post processed by the SCENARIA to provide additional information. Post processing capabilities included in the SCENARIA software include CT angiography (CTA), Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) and volume rendering. Volume datasets acquired by the SCENARIA Phase 3 can be transferred to external devices via a DICOM standard interface. The guideShot Option adds a remote in-room display and controls to support interventional imaging. The device output can provide an aid to diagnosis when used by a qualified physician.
• Ultrasound Transducer, Model Number: UST-5550-R, is used in conjunction with a diagnostic ultrasound system evaluation during robotic and non-robotic intra-operative and laparoscopic procedures.
