Cube
|
|
 |
IDEAL
|
Cube is a 3D isotropic imaging technique with sub-millimeter spatial resolution
and excellent contrast to help visualize even diminutive lesions. 3D data
from a single scan can be quickly and easily reconstructed into any plane
with the same high resolution of the native plane.
|
|
IDEAL provides consistent, robust fat and water separation every time, also
in difficult to scan anatomies and presence of metal implants. Four different
contrasts: water only, fat only, in-phase, out-of-phase are generated from
a single acquisition, for confident diagnoses and fewer repeat exams.
An IDEAL upgrade includes upgrade of VIBRANT to VIBRANT-Flex and
LAVA to LAVA-Flex.

PROPELLER 2.0
|
|
 |
3D Merge |
PROPELLER 2.0 corrects for patient motion and enhance tissue contrast without
compromising image resolution or prolonging scan time – helping clearly
visualize even small or subtle lesions also in uncooperative patients or
difficult to image anatomy.
|
|
3D Multiple Echo Recombined Gradient Echo (MERGE) uses multiple echoes to
generate high-resolution images of the C-spine with excellent gray-white
matter differentiation. By combining early echoes with high SNR and late
echoes with improved contrast, the result is improved cord contrast within
the spinal column.
|
| |
|
|
 |
3D COSMIC |
|
 |
BrainWave Fusion |
3D COSMIC generates optimized grey/white matter contrast in the spine, helping
visualize nerve roots and inter-vertebral disks, while maintaining soft-tissue
contrast.
|
|
BrainWave Fusion provides the ability to fuse high-resolution anatomical
images with fMRI activation maps and white matter tractography. The application
supports evaluation of the spatial relationship between eloquent cortex,
brain connectivity, and underlying anatomy and pathology.
|
|
|
|
 |
BrainWave RT |
|
 |
BrainWave PA |
BrainWave RT is a powerful real-time fMRI data acquisition package. It consists
of an EPI sequence with synchronized paradigm delivery and integrated quality
control. The BOLD activation data is displayed in real time with the image
quality indicators. Intuitive user interface makes it simple for a single
technologist to manage the acquisition, paradigm delivery and reconstruction
process.
|
|
BrainWave PA is a post-processing package for fMRI datasets acquired with
BrainWave RT. Raw data can be reviewed, edited and visualized as activation
maps co-registered with high-resolution 3D anatomic data set.

Diffusion Tensor Imaging |
|
 |
FiberTrak |
DTI is a technique used in brain neuro applications for white matter tract
visualizations. Post-processing tools such as Functool and FiberTrak (optional)
can be applied to the DTI data set to visualize fractional anisotropy maps,
eigenvectors and 3D tractography.
|
|
The FiberTrak option adds color FA maps, color eigenvector maps, and 3D
tractography, a white matter fibers trajectories projection co-registered
with high definition 3D anatomies data set capabilities to the standard
Functool DTI.

PROBE-PRESS Spectroscopy |
|
|
PROBE-STEAM Spectroscopy |
PROBE - PRESS single voxel spectroscopy allows non-invasive evaluation of
the relative concentrations of in-vivo metabolites. Volume-localized, water-suppressed
H1 spectra are acquired and displayed in a single-voxel mode. The package
includes acquisition set-up, graphic prescription of spectroscopic volumes
and automatic reconstruction.
|
|
PROBE - STimulated Echo Acquisition Mode acquires a stimulated echo from
the localized volume, providing more accurate voxel localization. Since
echo times available with STEAM CSI can be shorter, it is better suited
than PRESS for chemical species that have shorter T2.
|
| |
|
|
 |
PROBE-2D CSI |
|
 |
PROBE-3D CSI |
This extends the PROBE-PRESS capabilities with simultaneous multi-voxel
in-plane acquisitions. Post- processing, including the generation of metabolite
maps, is automatically generated with the functool Performance package.
|
|
This add 3D multi-voxel acquisitions, extending the PROBE-2D CSI capabilities
(PROBE 2D CSI is mandatory).

MR Echo
|
|
 |
TRICKS
|
MR Echo provides an environment and tools for generating high-definition
cardiac exams in real time without the need for respiratory or ECG gating.
MR Echo employs accelerated FIESTA, time course or myocardial delayed enhancement
techniques to perform cardiac exam in real time, in a non-gated or VCG-gated
modi. The intuitive interface enables the user to quickly scan the heart
in any orientation and to save real time images.
|
|
TRICKS uses an innovative time resolved k-space filling, sophisticated data
reconstruction and parallel acceleration techniques to allow increased temporal
resolution without sacrificing SNR or spatial resolution. TRICKS eliminates
the need for test injections of contrast or triggering. The acquired data
includes multiphase images of the entire arterial and venous filling, providing
high-resolution information about flow dynamics and allowing reliable arterial-venous
separation.
|
| |
|
|
 |
2D FIESTA
|
|
 |
3D FIESTA
|
The FIESTA 2D pulse sequence provides excellent blood to myocardium contrast
optimized for 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 FIESTA 3D pulse sequence generates excellent high-resolution images
of fluid filled structures. Ultra-short TR's and TE's allow rapid 3D imaging
within very short scan times with outstanding T2w image contrast.
|
| |
|
|
 |
3D FIESTA-C |
|
 |
3D FatSat FIESTA |
This phase-cycled FIESTA technique reduces sensitivity to changes in magnetic
susceptibility that may be encountered when imaging e.g. posterior fossa
and anatomies near air-tissue boundaries. Extremely short TR helps generate
high-resolution SNR-rich 3D images of fluid filled structures with effective
background tissue suppression, in rapid scan times. |
|
3D FatSat FIESTA provides robust
coronary artery imaging in a short breath-hold. Fat suppression is applied
to accentuate the coronary arteries. |
| |
|
|
 |
3D Myocardial Delayed Enhancement |
|
 |
QuickStep |
MDE is a FGRE technique with IR Prep used to assess myocardial tissue viability.
Adiabatic inversion recovery for homogenous myocardium suppression is employed
to improve CNR between infarcted and normal myocardium.
|
|
QuickSTEP is an automated multi-station acquisition for the evaluation of
the vascular tree. This application automatically prescribes, acquires,
and combines images from multiple stations for fast acquisition and exam
completion.
|

|
 |
Fluoro-Triggered MRA |
|
 |
Cardiac Tagging |
Fluoro-triggered MRA (FTMRA) is designed to capture angiographic images
at the precise moment of peak opacification. Rather than automating the
image-acquisition upon detection of the bolus arrival, FTMRA allows the
operator to trigger each acquisition almost instantly (less than 1 second
switch over), as soon as the operator is satisfied with the level of vessel
enhancement. The result is an interactive, ASSET compatible, accurate approach
to contrast-enhanced MRA.
|
|
Used to improve visualization of miocardial contractile function, this tagging application
combines cardiac-gated FastCINE gradient-recalled echo to acquire data throughout
the cardiac cycle, with spatial SAT pulses applied throughout the FOV. Using
the operator's choice of diagonal stripes or a grid pattern, tagging is
applied once per R-R interval immediately following the R-wave ECG trigger,
just before the start of data acquisition.
|
|
Advanced Workflow Tools
 |
FuncTool Fusion
|
|
|
|
To better visualize tissue and contrast, multiple images from separate acquisitions
can be overlaid on one another. With the Discovery MR750 workflow, high-resolution
anatomical images can be automatically fused with functional data or parametric
maps for improved visualization. |
