May 16, 2007 - In addition to a software update to all of its Echelon 1.5T MR imaging system users, Hitachi Medical Systems America recently added the RADAR feature, a new motion compensating image collection technique, to provide another way to conform the MR image collection process to the patient.
RADAR is based on a radial k-space data collection approach delivering reduced vulnerability to both bulk and physiological motion. Images collected with RADAR are typically free from artifacts caused by breathing, gross motion and flow. RADAR reportedly has broad applicability with uses for neurological, orthopedic and body imaging.
