GE Healthcare, a division of General Electric Company (GE), recently introduced SIGNA Pioneer − a new 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system for the expansion of modern medical imaging.
With SIGNA Pioneer's Magnetic Resonance Image Compilation (MAGiC), a single scan can be done to acquire images in as little as one-third of the time in comparison to other techniques, thus saving time for the clinicians. MAGiC allows a generation of six different contrasts in a single scan which provides significant productivity benefits. An enhanced Silent Scan package is also available on SIGNA Pioneer, which reduces the noise for most scans in comparison to other systems, thus giving patients a better healthcare experience.
SIGNA Pioneer features a technology called Total Digital Imaging (TDI), which includes Direct Digital Interface (DDI), Digital Surround Technology (DST) and Digital Micro Switching (DMS). TDI enables improved image quality and increases signal to noise ratio (SNR) by up to 25%
GE Healthcare provides transformational medical technologies and services by ensuring greater access to enhanced quality and affordable healthcare facilities across the globe. This system is likely to further expand the scope of innovative scanning technologies for more accurate assessment of specific patients evaluated for diseases.
