Fujifilm’s APERTO Lucent is a 0.4T mid-field, open MRI system addressing today’s capability and image quality needs. This new permanent magnet MRI system’s unique single-pillar open design, wide floating table and advanced motion compensation technology deliver a comfortable patient experience.
Minimal building power requirements, helium-free technology and air cooling keep its operating costs low. Fujifilm’s advanced data acquisition and processing technologies combined with unmatched post installation support ensure high performance and reliability.
Advanced Technology
APERTO Lucent’s advanced standard imaging technologies enhance workflow efficiency potential and optimize image quality.
RADAR motion compensating pulse sequences reduce the need for rescans and minimize artifact impact on workflow. RADAR sequences can be applied from head to extremities, including for challenging imaging of shoulder, cervical spine, pediatric, and claustrophobic patients where patient motion can hinder diagnostic image quality.
CHESS type RF Fat saturation complements STIR and Dixon type FatSep sequences, offering a comprehensive fat suppression capability. The system features eight channels of active patient shimming, designed to provide highest possible field uniformity in support of fat suppression and image quality.
Spatial resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are promoted by sensitive solenoid technology RF receiver coils and IP-Recon, Fujifilm’s iterative reconstruction algorithm. IP-Recon mitigates image noise using a wavelet transform approach, delivering high quality images under demanding resolution requirements.
“APERTO Lucent is a perfect solution for providers looking for a space-saving, cost-effective system enhancing the MRI patient experience,” says Shawn Etheridge, Executive Director, Modality Solutions Marketing, FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corp. “The vertically oriented magnetic field coupled with solenoid receive coil technology and Fujifilm’s denoising algorithm brings an exceptional quality benefit. And, with the permanent magnet, there is little need for additional equipment and infrastructure to maintain the magnetic field, keeping installation and operating costs while providing a stronger return on investment.”
