First Ingenia 3.0T experiences at University of Michigan show “incredible” image quality, greater patient comfort, and vastly improved workflow.
The power to change your MR Featuring DirectDigital, FlexStream and EasyExpand, dStream is an exciting new MR system architecture that delivers crystal clear images, remarkable speed, and technology that makes RF upgrades a thing of the past. Increase SNR by up to 40% Philips-exclusive DirectDigital RF samples the MR signal directly in the coil on the patient, and sends it to the reconstructor via fiberoptic cable. The result is up to 40% higher SNR, and a dynamic range that exceeds 185dB. As much as 30% improvement in throughput Designed to streamline workflow and reduce exam time, FlexStream enables imaging with fewer coils and reduce patient set up time, bringing about a throughput increase as much as 30%. Plug-and-play expansion With EasyExpand you never have to upgrade your RF receive channels to keep up with advances in coil technology. It enables plug-and-play expansion of clinical capabilities without major system upgrades and channel conflicts. Largest homogeneous FOV for a 70cm bore Combining patient comfort with extended coverage and high image quality, Xtend provides the largest homogeneous field-of-view in a commercial 70cm wide bore system and an excellent combination of magnet homogeneity and gradient performance. Significant reduction of routine tasks SmartAssist is the next generation of Philips powerful combination of SmartExam and ExamCards. It can halve the number of repetitive tasks for greater efficiency, consistency and reproducibility. Contrast uniformity, speed, consistency MultiTransmit 4D brings the benefits of MultiTransmit technology to cardiac imaging. It adapts RF signals to each patient, addressing dielectric shading to provide superb image uniformity, contrast & consistency, as well as faster imaging.
User experiences
First Ingenia 3.0T* experiences at University of Michigan show “incredible” image quality, greater patient comfort, and vastly improved workflow. The University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA) is the first installation of the revolutionary new Ingenia 3.0T MR system: a large FOV wide bore system, featuring dStream architecture for superb digital signal, and vastly simplified coil and patient handling. Suresh K. Mukherji, MD, FACR, Professor of Radiology and Chief of Neuroradiology at the University of Michigan Health System, says the Ingenia system is fantastic. “It has addressed many needs in MR, and Ingenia image quality is incredible. It’s the best I’ve ever seen on a 3.0T system.”
