Hitachi nets Oasis MRI order

Metro Imaging, an outpatient imaging center in St. Louis, has installed Hitachi Medical Systems America’s Oasis high-field MRI system.

Hitachi said its Oasis combines patient comfort with power that is boosted by an array of anatomically-specific receiver coils that allow imaging applications ranging from vascular to orthopedic to women's health.

Metro Imaging, radiologist-owned and operated, has been providing outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the greater St. Louis area since 1994.
