GE launches new 3T scanner at ISMRM meeting Three T took a giant step forward with the unveiling May 5 of GE Healthcare's new Signa MR750. The product, which cleared the FDA days before its debut in Toronto, simplifies and speeds both academic and routine studies with accelerated scan and reconstruction times, improved image uniformity, better resolution and extended anatomical coverage. Greg Freiherr has the report.
Philips pursues quantitative MR at ISMRM meeting Quantitative MR promises to add precision to a modality that, since its beginning, has depended on subjective interpretation. Exact measurements of scar tissue in the myocardium, for example, or blood volume in tumors may provide absolutes in the definition of disease and patient prognosis. No venue is more appropriate for such work than the ISMRM meeting in Toronto. Greg Freiherr has the report.
Tim coils help Siemens push the boundaries of MR With the largest selection of MR scanners in the industry, Siemens Healthcare is positioning its Tim (total imaging matrix) technology as the thread that keeps them all together and meeting customers' needs. Tim, now marking its five year anniversary in the marketplace, is a seamless, whole body surface coil and RF technology. On the ISMRM exhibit floor, Jeff Bundy, Siemens' vice president of the MR division, framed the company’s portfolio of advanced coils as the means to unlock the power of Tim. Greg Freiherr has the report.
