- for increased throughput, enabling a better patient and user experience
"SynergyDrive" is the result of the combination of IP-RAPID, the high-speed exam feature and "AutoExam", a function that significantly improves operability. By streamlining the MRI examination workflow from patient check-in to the completion of an examination, scan times for routine exams can now be reduced by up to 30%* compared to conventional open MRI systems from Hitachi.

- for significantly reduced scan times
IP-RAPID is the high-speed scan feature of "SynergyDrive" which uses undersampling and image reconstruction utilizing iterative image processing, applicable to many sequences (2D/3D). IP-RAPID can be performed for various kinds of sequences and regions such as T1-weighted, T2-weighted, STIR, FLAIR, MRA, diffusion-weighted and fat-water separation images. IP-RAPID allows to significantly shorten scan times without loss in image quality.
