Hitachi Medical Systems America's first Echelon Oval high-field MRI scanner has been installed and is in use at ProScan Imaging's Eastgate facility located in Cincinnati.

Echelon Oval is a 1.5-tesla scanner that features a 74-cm oval-shaped bore, according to Hitachi. In May, Hitachi received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market Echelon Oval in the U.S.

Images in an 18-year-old man with recurrent dislocations of the right shoulder. (A, B) Unenhanced coronal, (C) axial, and (D, E) sagittal deep learning super-resolution threefold parallel imaging -- accelerated turbo spin-echo MRI scans were obtained at 3-tesla field strength. (A) Coronal T2-weighted fat-suppressed (FS) and (B) coronal proton density (PD)-weighted MRI scans show a nondisplaced superior labral tear (arrows). (C) Axial proton density-weighted fat-suppressed, (D) sagittal T2-weighted fat-suppressed, and (E) sagittal T1-weighted MRI scans show continuation into a nondisplaced anteroinferior labral tear (arrows). All seven readers correctly diagnosed the arthroscopy-validated findings. (F) An arthroscopic photograph shows the anteroinferior labral tear (arrow). Image and caption courtesy of the RSNA.
