Never miss a contrast bolus again. Fluoro-Triggered MRA gives the Radiologist or Technologist the ability to image the vascular anatomy of interest in real time and to see the arrival of the contrast bolus and almost instantly start the acquisition of a high resolution MRA exam.

is a technique for reducing scan time when the Torso Phased Array (PA) coil is used. The reduction in scan time is due to every other line in K-space being skipped, while keeping the total area covered in K-space the same. A half phase field of view (0.5 PFOV) is an example of a technique that uses a similar principle. ASSET requires a calibration scan prior to the image acquisition. This calibration scan is required for the system to account for the phase wrapped or aliased anatomy that occurs within each coil in the phased array set.
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.
This Advantage Windows Software package adds a real time image processing capability to the EPI BOLD acquisition technique. The package allows the operator to see the changes in relative blood flow in real time while the patient paradigm changes in real time.

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)
Accelerated (FRFSE-XL) pulse sequence is built on the foundation of the 3D FSE pulse sequence. It has been develped primarily to enable high-resolution images for MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) studies. 3D FRFSE-XL operates with the respiratory triggering, ASSET(Array coil Spatial Sensitivity Encoding Technique), fast recovery, Zerofill Interpolation (ZIP) options, sequential view-ordering, and half-NEX options, and it provides two alternative approaches to the filling of k-space.
The Signa 9.1 Full Vitality Package consists of four packages that have been designed to expand the Capabilities of Signa LX systems with 9.0 SW. These options can be downloaded at no charge via the Signa LX Insite connection for customers with GE Service contracts. These options provide improvements in productivity, and image quality as well as expanding the clinical capabilities of the system.
The Signa 9.1 Vitality Package Lite consists of three packages that have been designed to expand the Capabilities of Signa LX systems with 9.0 SW. These options can be downloaded at no charge via the Signa LX Insite connection for customers with GE Service contracts. These options provide improvements in productivity, and image quality as well as expanding the clinical capabilities of the system.
*Note: This package is for customers that do not have an IPG2 board.
