diffusion weighted imaging provides isotropic diffusion-weighted EPI images along with T2 EPI and FLAIR EPI images. The pulse sequences uses a single-shot, motion-resistant technique capable of imaging the entire brain in less than 30 seconds with B-values up to 1000 sec/mm2. Image post-processing is automated. EchoPlus requires EPI, and FuncTool 2000 is recommended in conjunction with EchoPlus for ADC and eADC mapping. (requires EPI)

The FIESTA 2D CINE pulse sequence provides excellent blood to myocardium contrast for gated cardiac imaging. The short TR/TE capability of this sequence allows acquisition of high quality cardiac images that are less sensitive to turbulent blood flow.
The Probe 3D CSI Software is an addition to the Probe2000 Package that enables 3D Multi-Voxel Proton Spectroscopy. This 3D capability adds Whole Brain coverage to Signa's spectroscopic imaging capabilities.

provides bolus detection for contrast enhanced exams and automated table stepping for peripheral vascular exams. Bolus detection eliminates the guesswork on contrast injections by automatically detecting contrast arrival and triggering image acquisition. Automated table stepping enables multi-phasic imaging at single or multi-stations. SmartPrep requires a 256 MB BAM and a Reflex 50 array processor is recommended.
provides real time interactive scan control tools that enable the user to quickly assess complex anatomy and determine the optimum scan plane. Start and end locations can be transferred to protocols in the RX Manager. iDrive Pro expands the capability of iDrive Basic with a timer, bookmarks, advanced scan controls, and contrast controls. iDrive Pro does require iDrive Basic and a ReFlex 20 array processor. (requires iDrive Basic)
If you have LX 8.3 software version please request for an upgrade to LX 9.0 first before attempting to download any vitality packages below.

The FIESTA 3D pulse sequence provides excellent high-resolution images of fluid filled structures in very rapid acquisition times. FIESTA employs Ultra Short TR's and TE's for with very fast scan times with outstanding image contrast.
provides advanced post-processing capability for diffusion, spectroscopy, task-activation, dynamic susceptibility and dynamic contrast exams. FuncTool 9.0 contains 10 algorithms that include ADC and eADC maps for EchoPlus, metabolite maps for multi-voxel Probe, and correlation coefficients for BOLD.
Note: Only applicable for Signa LX Version 9.0 Software!
adds automated table stepping for customers who already have SmartPrep bolus detection. Automated table stepping is used for peripheral vascular exams because it enables multi-phasic imaging at single or multiple stations.(for customers with existing SmartPrep software)
