MRI device and software product names – Echelon | Origin
Igor created the names 'Echelon' and 'Origin' for Hitachi Medical Systems' next generation magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine and the operating software that controls it. Hitachi has a great reputation for reliability and customer support, and they were looking for easy to remember names that positioned the products to stress their excellent image quality, speed and performance, along with efficient, easy operation, reliability and strong ROI.
'Echelon', with its various meanings – a successive troop formation, a hierarchical level of authority – maps well to both the physical nature of the machine (repeated scans of areas of the human body) and to its important place in the hierarchy of diagnostic tools available to the physician.
'Origin', Echelon's operating software, speaks to its primacy as the beginning of the MRI process, of being integral to the analysis of the MR images, and the "origin" of the diagnosis that leads to healing the patient.
Here is more detail on each of these products:
