Improving Patient Experience

Magnetic Resonance is highly effective at imaging patients, but traditional coils can be bulky, heavy and rigid, causing discomfort to patients and technologists. GE Healthcare’s new suite of RF coils, AIR Technology, are now commercially available on SIGNA Premier, and are 60 percent lighter on the patient. The ultra-lightweight design makes it easier for the technologist to position the patient and addresses several clinical needs. AIR Coils look like a blanket and fit 99.9 percent of patients, with technology engineered for higher density channel count and increased SNR. SIGNA Premier wide bore 3.0T MRI system, now commercially available in the United States, features GE Healthcare’s latest, short-bore, high-homogeneity 3.0T superconductive magnet; the most powerful gradient system GE Healthcare has ever developed for a wide bore 3.0T system; and a new, digital RF transmit and receive architecture. It enables 2x faster whole-body imaging compared to conventional scans, and 60 percent faster1 images.
