Fujifilm India has installed the Echelon Smart 1.5 Tesla MRI machine at Sarvodaya Hospital, a 220-bed super speciality hospital in Greater Noida West (Noida Extension), in the Indian state of  Uttar Pradesh.

The 1.5T Superconductive MRI system is designed to enable acoustic noise reduction, low power usage, and operator-friendly operation support.
