Features:
The ability
of an MRI user to simply create, alter & view
information in real time for the purposes of obtaining
better, more precise information about the patient
being imaged. Interactive imaging will enable the
following.
- MR Fluoroscopy
- Rapid Assessment
of anatomy to help determine disease extent
& manifestation
- Rapid Localization
& iRX of complex anatomy
To simply
create, alter & view information in real time
to provide for more precision requires and iDrivePro
Provides;
- Fast Imaging Sequences
- Real Time Image
Reconstruction
- Simultaneous Scan
& Reconstruction
- Communication
pathways between real time procedure and subsequent
procedures
- Simple/Intuitive
User Interface with subsecond latency
The initial iDrive
pulse sequence is
2D Fast Gradient Echo
- Both FSPGR &
FGRE
- Special In-line
controls allowing for real time contrast manipulation
(SAT, FatSAT, SPGR, FC, IR)
- Special In-line
controls for FOV manipulation (25% change)
- Flexible prescription
of sequence before going real time
- Capable of up
to 8 frames/second depending upon Gradient Platform/Array
Processor and Scan Parameters

Benefits of iDrive:
- Interactive scan
plane control gives the Technologist the ability
to quickly find the scan plane that is optimal
for evaluating complex patient anatomy
- Interactive imaging
with iDrive will change the complex into the
simple thereby increasing user productivity
& exam quality
Prerequisites:
- Signa
LX System with 8.3 Software
- Requires Reflex
20 or Faster (30ips) Array Processor
- Requires iDrive Basic
