The 3.0T MR system is one of the world's finest high-definition magnetic resonance systems. It provides physicians with improved image clarity. The hardware and software advances in the 3.0T MR system provides enhanced clinical and productivity advantages while creating a platform for new technologies and applications. The Signa HDx 3.0T MR system delivers a comprehensive applications suite, providing optimal diagnostic capabilities for the assessment of anatomy, morphology, physiology and function.
Typical 3.0T MR system procedures:
Neurological/Brain Imaging
MR Angiography (MRA)
Spine Studies
Orthopedic - including elbow, wrist, hip, knee, foot and ankle
Pelvis - Male and Female
Abdominal
Spectroscopic imaging
Patient benefits
Patient comfort and easier exam positions - features a 55-cm patient opening
Reduced rescanning/redundant exams due to patient or organ motion
Detachable table and dual-sided controls for efficiency and patient safety
Physician/technologist benefits
Enhanced imaging techniques enable easier visualization of anomalies, resulting in more diagnostic confidence than ever before.
Benefits of 3.0T MR systems
The highest clinical field strength available on the market today
Double the field strength and signal of 1.5T MR systems - delivering higher resolution and the ability to see smaller structures
High homogeneity and large field of view, delivering enhanced clinical flexibility and easier, more comfortable patient positioning options
Maximized signal-to-noise arms physicians with the exceptional speed necessary to image dynamic processes without compromises in image quality
Alternative scanning techniques minimize artifacts in the most challenging studies
Benefits of High Definition (HD) capability in MR imaging
HD gradients deliver high fidelity and high image quality
Technological advantages
