The ECHELON Smart features a small footprint with a limited cost, without compromising on diagnostic quality and speed.
Based on our proprietary technology, this system has opened up the potential for 1.5T systems, providing superb image quality and superior install flexibility inherited from permanent-magnet MRI systems.
ECHELON Smart offers new options for superconductive MRI.
Various technologies exist to reduce MRI imaging 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 SmartCOMFORT noise reduction technology reduces the acoustic noise by up to 96%*1.

Optimizing the image SN ratio on multi-channel receiver coils
The ECHELON Smart is powered by a high-speed A/D converter (Analog to Digital Converter) which directly digitizes the high frequency signal, suppressing noise to enhance image quality. It also incorporates an optimum image synthesizing technique allowing the precise adjustment of the image synthesis ratio taking into account the noise correlation during composition of signals from the elements to improve the total image SN ratio by 8% *4 and thus provide excellent clinical images.This technology is particularly effective for multi-channel receiver coils in which the coil elements are segmented.
