Fujifilm Launches APERTO Lucent™ 0.4T Open MRI System

Lexington, Mass., July 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation, a leading provider of diagnostic and enterprise imaging solutions, announces the U.S. launch of APERTO Lucent™, a powerful open 0.4T MRI system. Relying on renowned Fujifilm permanent magnet technology, the new MRI system boasts a unique single-pillar design. The wide, laterally moving table complements the system’s open architecture to offer a comfortable patient experience. 

Beyond its patient comfort advantages, the new MRI system addresses today’s capability and quality needs. RADAR motion compensating pulse sequence technology enables reduced need for rescans and minimizing artifact impact on workflow. RADAR sequences can be applied, from head to extremities, including shoulder and cervical spine, where patient motion can particularly challenge the MRI exam. 

CHESS type RF Fat saturation complements STIR and Dixon type FatSep sequences, offering a comprehensive fat suppression capability. APERTO Lucent features eight channels of active patient shimming, designed to provide highest possible field uniformity in support of fat suppression and enhanced image quality. 

Spatial resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are promoted by sensitive solenoid technology RF receiver coils and IP-Recon, Fujifilm’s iterative reconstruction algorithm. IP- Recon mitigates image noise using a wavelet transform approach, which helps to provide high quality images under demanding resolution requirements. 

“APERTO Lucent is a perfect solution for providers looking for a space-saving, cost-effective system that enhances the MRI patient experience,” said Shawn Etheridge, Executive Director, Modality Solutions Marketing, FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation. “With permanent magnet open MRI technology, there is little need for additional equipment and infrastructure to maintain the magnetic field, keeping installation and operating costs low for our customers and providing a stronger return on investment.”
