New 3T MRI Scanner Cleared by US FDA

The SuperG gradient coil provides improved performance and stability. The scanner also features machine-learning software with cloud analytics.

The Radio Frequency (RF) technology of the scanner provides 146 independent receiver channels for faster scanning, improved performance, and improved image quality. The SIGNA Premier scanner also includes a fit-adaptable 48-channel Head Coil with good image quality, and a high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The system can perform a routine fast brain exam in less than five minutes using GE’s new HyperSense speed scanning tool that is part of GE’s HyperWorks application suite.

President, and CEO of GE Healthcare MRI, Eric Stahre, said, "We are thrilled to bring SIGNA Premier to clinicians. We believe that its advanced applications and breakthrough innovations will deliver research-focused clinical capabilities and wide-bore patient comfort. This new system will help clinicians push the boundaries of what’s possible with MR."
