Avita Galion Hospital in Ohio has acquired the Fujifilm Echelon Synergy MRI system with AI-powered deep learning reconstruction (DLR) technology. This advanced system enables high-quality MRI scans of the brain, spine, extremities, abdomen, breasts, and patients with MRI-compatible pacemakers.

“One of the ways we invest in our communities is through advanced technology,” says Jerry Morasko, president/CEO of Avita Health System. “Our patients deserve the best diagnostic solutions and care locally. We added 3T MRI at Ontario Hospital in 2019 and Bucyrus Hospital in 2021, and now we’re upgrading our imaging capabilities at Galion Hospital.”

Comfort for Claustrophobic Patients

The Echelon Synergy 1.5 Tesla MRI system uses Fujifilm’s DLR technology powered by AI to enhance image sharpness and speed up scan times, resulting in higher image quality and reduced waiting times. The system also features a 70cm wide bore and 62cm wide table, accommodating patients up to 550 pounds, including those with claustrophobia or higher body weight.

“We value every patient’s experience and strive for the highest satisfaction,” Morasko adds. “The large bore and wide table provide comfort and help reduce anxiety.”

The new MRI also features SoftSound gradient technology to reduce noise and Hydro AG antibacterial coating to suppress bacterial growth on surfaces, providing an added layer of protection against infections.
