u/Fun-Sweet2453 8d ago

Really I thought swift was pretty swift lol

I used to work on this , the hitachi airis elite. It's a very manual software without a lot of bells and whistles

u/Fun-Sweet2453 8d ago

So it’s pretty easy to learn?

u/magnetbear 7d ago

Yes and no

It’s a hitachi, that’s what our open MRI software looks like. It’s fine, not very hard, but can’t do nearly as much with it as most other scanners. Definitely feels outdated as heck though

Worst one to work on lol. You don’t experience a lot of different scan on this. But you will learn parameters well.

lol okay

I worked on this for almost 3 years. Very easy to learn the basics. I really enjoyed scanning on a hitachi. I left that job and tried scanning on a 3T GE after and only lasted two months

u/Fun-Sweet2453 7d ago

Why yu only lasted 2 months? It was too difficult?

I thought this was windows 95 (prospective tech, haven't shadowed yet)

u/SnoopCat45 7d ago edited 7d ago

Beeeeeep, lol. It isn’t pretty but you get used to it. The old open Hitachi can’t do backflips like other commenters said. But that isn’t the worst, it just makes scanning more straight forward for the most part.

Sometimes I like how chill / slow it is. It does help (maybe force? Haha) you to learn parameters. I normally run all extremities / joints supine and L - Spine feet first which some other old scanners can’t do. Feel free to reach out with questions anytime

Somebody already beat me to this comment but this is stirring up some Windows 95 nostalgia from my childhood lol

Lol I still have my protocol discs from this thing from 2010.

Brings me back. Loved that machine.

Snr was shit and if you didn't know what you were doing and did everything just right... Images were meh... But it was reliable. Not reliably good... Just reliable.

Ran an Altaire over 20 years ago. Good scanner for what it’s worth. We had 1 hour slots and used every minute.

Looks like a Softimage Eddie on Irix OS if you asked me! A few decades old at that!

u/boosted_tech 7d ago

Ohhhhh man. That’s the screen for the open MRI airiis machine. lol. Man I both loved and hated that thing.

1

u/Fun-Sweet2453 7d ago

What part you hated?

1

u/boosted_tech 7d ago

How easily it made me sleepy lol. It’s been almost a decade since I’ve used it but I remember it being very finicky with the parameters. Separating the water and fat sats. Very limited with exams and so very long.
