Modern MRI scanners have a wide bore to accommodate obese patients and reduce claustrophobia. In order to enable a wide bore construction, it is common practice to completely redesign the magnet. However in most cases, the most important specification - the magnet homogeneity - is compromised. For the Vantage Titan, Toshiba kept the magnet of the Vantage version that has a 60 cm bore, but redesigned the gradient coil, keeping the original magnet specifications. The result is a wide bore system without any compromise to image quality.
