The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared Hitachi Medical Systems America's new SCENARIA scalable CT platform.
The new SCENARIA Advanced 128 CT system, which combines the latest dose saving and imaging technologies, includes enhanced patient access features and rapid workflow in a 128-slice model and provides both routine and advanced applications with enhanced performance and value.
The Advanced 128 features are also available as a field upgrade for the SCENARIA 64-slice model, according to the company.
Hitachi Medical Systems America CT marketing director Mark Silverman said SCENARIA also combines premium feature set that includes a standard 2 meter scannable range table with greater than 500 lb. weight capacity and unique lateral shift capability (16cm range) to center the patient's anatomy of interest nearest to the scan iso-center.
Hitachi Medical Systems America VP and general manager MR/CT Sheldon Schaffer said, "The SCENARIA Advanced 128 model is an important achievement as Hitachi continues to expand the breadth of our CT Product line and installation foot-print in the US Market."
