Everyone expects that there should be no compromise in image
quality when using a diagnostic tool with their patients, and now you
do not have to make a choice as TOSHIBA has pioneered a new segment
with the Next Generation 1.5 T system. With Vantage Elan's superior
intrinsic homogeneity, achieved by employing a new magnet technology,
you no longer have to sacrifice quality in your images. Toshiba's
Vantage Elan provides excellent image quality even in the most
difficult examination requirements such as off center imaging or in a
large field of view requiring fat free images.

Patient care is always Toshiba's number one concern whenever we
design a new system. We have improved the comfort of the examination
by introducing a new technology called Pianissimo(TM) SUMMATION that
significantly reduces the noise for the patient and the operator. Our
new light coil design with Octave SPEEDER(TM) technology provides
easier set up and a more comfortable experience for the patient
without sacrificing image quality. Our unique Feet First examination
technique also helps to reduce patient anxiety. Finally, our new bore
aperture, short length magnet and air flow system, provides your
patient with a comfortable place to have their examination with less
stress.

All of Toshiba's world renowned true non-contrast applications,
which are available on our other Vantage series products, are also in
the Vantage Elan making it possible to perform a full body Non
Contrast MRA. Toshiba pioneered the technique to remove the need to
use expensive and potentially dangerous contrast media while still
providing "contrast" in the images. We have saved our users from
choosing to inject contrast media in their patients while giving them
even better information without the problems that contrast can cause
in obscuring fine details.
