This application can suppress not only image artifacts in
patients who are unable to remain still during scanning,
but also artifacts due to involuntary motion such as CSF
flow. This technique is based on FastSE 2D, and uses
T2W and FLAIR contrast enhancement.

An image with reduced respiratory motion artifacts can
be obtained by following the scanning cross section and

User interface
Vantage Titan 3T employs a new platform to provide user-friendly operability. The user interface is designed for intuitive
operation, enabling even those with less experience to operate the system without difficulty. The interface has been created
in accordance with the "universal design" concept, with the aim of reducing stress on the operator. This operability is imple-
mented as a common standard among Toshiba medical systems. Vantage Titan 3T also employs a new image processing
engine, which provides three-dimensional image processing and color fusion processing, as well as flexible support for clini-
cal application software.
