Hitachi Trillium Oval 3T

Modality: MRI

Hitachi's premium 3T MRI platform — wide-bore (74 cm oval cross-section, same geometry as Echelon Oval 1.5T). Strong installed base in Japan and Asia-Pacific markets where Hitachi held strong share; smaller global volume than Siemens MAGNETOM Vida, Philips Ingenia 3T, or GE Signa Premier. Continues under Fujifilm Healthcare branding post-2021.

Distinctive technology

  • 74 cm oval bore — wider lateral dimension than circular bore; bariatric / claustrophobic accommodation.
  • Pianissimo Σ acoustic-reduction at 3T (where 3T platforms are typically louder than 1.5T).
  • High-channel coil platform — multi-channel head, body, spine, cardiac, breast coils.
  • Advanced clinical-application packages — DTI, fMRI, MR spectroscopy, perfusion, cardiac.
  • Helium-managed magnet — conventional refill cadence.

Refurb posture

  • Smaller refurb supply than Big Three 3T platforms — Trillium Oval volume is concentrated in Hitachi-installed-base markets.
  • Coil inventory + acceleration licensing drive refurb value.
  • Service-network depth outside Japan / Asia-Pacific is a refurb consideration.
