APERTO Lucent

APERTO Lucent is the new solution for 21st-century MRI scanning. The unique, single-pillar
design makes it the only available panoramic open MRI scanner in the world. Incorporating the
strongest open permanent magnet, with field strength of 0.4 Tesla, is fundamental to its
performance. APERTO Lucent provides high-field quality at the cost of a permanent system.

The development of APERTO Lucent’s high-end magnet technology, with Hitachi’s leading MRI
expertise, has resulted in a best-of-breed open system. Designed to cover the entire MRI
spectrum of scanning applications, its outstanding image quality is well respected throughout
the radiology profession.
