Fujifilm India, a leader in advanced diagnostic imaging and healthcare technology, has installed and commissioned the Fujifilm Echelon Smart MRI at Jansons Health in Erode. The installation expands access to advanced MRI services in the region and supports clinicians in delivering accurate, efficient diagnoses closer to patients.
The installation reflects the growing adoption of advanced imaging technologies beyond major urban centres. Designed for image quality, patient comfort, ease of operation and efficient clinical workflows, the system supports neurological, musculoskeletal, spine, abdominal and other advanced MRI examinations.
At the centre of the installation is the Fujifilm Echelon Smart MRI, a high-performance system that combines advanced MRI technology with Fujifilm’s diagnostic-imaging expertise. The deployment marks a significant milestone for Fujifilm as the company’s first MRI installation equipped with DLR technology. Powered by Deep Learning, DLR reduces image noise while enhancing sharpness and clarity, supporting high-quality imaging with shorter scan times. These capabilities help produce detailed images across a broad range of applications and support confident clinical evaluation and informed diagnostic decisions.
The centre’s existing imaging capabilities are supported by the Fujifilm low-dose Supria 32 CT system, designed to deliver fast, high-throughput examination while maintaining high image quality with optimised radiation dose. With high-speed scanning, it supports detailed clinical evaluation across a broad range of routine clinical applications while enabling efficient workflow and high patient throughput.
The Echelon Smart MRI also incorporates patient-centric design features aimed at making the scanning experience more comfortable and less stressful for patients. By focusing on the patient experience alongside imaging performance, the system is designed to support a smoother MRI examination process. The system is complemented by Fujifilm’s Synapse 3D advanced visualization and image analysis platform.
Powered by Image Intelligence technology, the server-based platform provides a range of clinical applications across radiology, cardiology, surgery and oncology, supporting 3D modelling, image analysis and streamlined clinical workflows.
The Echelon Smart MRI supports brain and neurological, spine, musculoskeletal, abdominal and pelvic, angiographic and whole-body examinations. This clinical breadth enables healthcare providers to address diverse diagnostic requirements on a single advanced MRI platform.
Commenting on the development, T N Thirukumar, managing director, Jansons Group of Companies, India, said, “At Jansons Health, our focus has always been to strengthen diagnostic capabilities and provide patients with access to reliable and advanced imaging services. The installation of the Fujifilm Echelon Smart MRI enhances our ability to support accurate and efficient diagnosis across a wide range of clinical applications. We believe that access to advanced imaging technology closer to patients can play an important role in enabling timely clinical evaluation and improving the overall patient experience.”
Kai Yoshida, Japanese Business Advisor, CT, MRI & Women’s Imaging, Fujifilm India, said, “At Fujifilm India, we remain committed to expanding access to reliable, advanced and patient-centric diagnostic technologies. The Echelon Smart MRI at Jansons Health combines high-quality imaging, patient comfort and efficient workflows to support confident diagnosis. Through collaborations such as this, we aim to bring advanced diagnostic capabilities closer to patients and help healthcare institutions respond to evolving clinical needs.”
