Toshiba will rotate and upgrade technology annually to offer the current MR systems and software.

The training experience is tailored to meet specific customer needs, allowing customers to test the protocols most often used and learn new imaging techniques. The MR Research Center also provides potential customers the opportunity to experience the Toshiba technology configurations that they are considering for purchase.
