Product Overview
The GE 5561409-2, Q7000074 is a high-performance, 18-channel phased array knee coil specifically designed for 3.0 Tesla MRI systems. As a Transmit/Receive (T/R) coil, it provides both the RF excitation and signal reception locally, which significantly improves the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) compared to receive-only coils. This localized approach allows for ultra-high-resolution imaging of the knee anatomy, including cartilage, ligaments, and bone marrow, while reducing overall scan times through advanced parallel imaging capabilities.
Key Features & Benefits
18-Channel Phased Array: Provides superior signal sensitivity and allows for high acceleration factors in parallel imaging (e.g., ARC or HyperSense).
Transmit/Receive (T/R) Capability: Localizes RF power to the knee, reducing the specific absorption rate (SAR) and improving image uniformity.
Ergonomic Design: Features a split-top mechanical design with a contoured inner cross-section to accommodate various patient sizes comfortably.
Quiet Imaging Compatibility: Designed to support high-gradient sequences and advanced applications like 3D isotropic imaging (HyperCube).
Durable Construction: Built with high-impact, fire-rated polycarbonate housing and tested for biocompatibility.
Technical Specifications
Channel Configuration: 18-Channel Transmit/Receive Array.
Anatomy Compatibility: Knee (optimized for pediatric to adult patients).
Weight Limit: Rated for patients up to 400 lbs (subject to system table limits).
System Compatibility: Primarily used with GE 3.0T systems, including:
SIGNA Pioneer (TDI/65-channel architectures)
SIGNA Premier
Discovery MR750 / MR750w
SIGNA Hero
