Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Women's Healthcare
With over 20 years of experience in MR, more “firsts” than any other company, and the largest user base in the world, GE Healthcare is the preferred choice
of diagnosticians for advanced problem-solving tools to assist in breast cancer diagnosis and staging.

High-definition MR (HDMR) :
|
The latest generation of our high-field MR technology, HDMR provides outstanding soft tissue contast, high specificity and sensitivity, and the processing power to handle the most data-intensive applications in breast imaging.
|
Features for Oncology
-
Define extend of disease prior to treatment - tumor size, multicentricity, chest wall invasion
-
Problem solve - dense breasts, indeterminate mammograms, axillary adenopathy
-
Monitor response to treatment - chemotherapy, residual disease load, recurrence at lumpectomy site

VIBRANT
|
VIBRANT, an exclusive GE technique, is a powerful new weapon in the war against breast cancer.
It enables a bilateral breast exam to be performed in both the sagittal and the axial planes with the same resolution and scan time as a single-breast MR study. With one in three breast cancer patients having undiagnosed multi-focal disease, VIBRANT provides the missing link in a comprehensive breast assessment.

MR Guided Focused Ultrasound
|
MR Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS), exclusive to GE MR systems, is achieved through a partnership between GE MR and InSightec’s ExAblate, an innovative technology that engages high intensity ultrasound beams to heat and destroy fibroid tissue. This groundbreaking non-invasive surgical solution engages MR to visualize patient anatomy, map the volume of fibroid tissue to be treated, and monitor the temperature of the uterine tissue after heating.
|
Bilateral Breast Coil
|
GE’s exclusive 8-channel breast array coil allows lateral and medial access for MRguided biopsy, enabling clinicians to get significantly more information without inconveniencing their patients.
|
CADstream Image Analysis
|
Breast MRI procedure volume is growing with a
typical exam generating 800+ images.
Used in conjunction with GE’s VIBRANT breast imaging, CADstream
software can reduce image
processing and interpretation time
significantly, while helping to improve
the physician’s diagnostic confidence.
CADstream software provides an
efficient, standardized method for
processing and interpreting this data.
It highlights and color-codes suspicious
areas and automatically corrects the
images for patient movement.
