Diffusion Tensor Imaging Diffusion Tensor Imaging   PROBE-STEAM Spectroscopy PROBE-STEAM Spectroscopy

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.
 
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-PRESS Spectroscopy PROBE-PRESS Spectroscopy   PROBE-3D CSI PROBE-3D CSI

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.
 
This add 3D multi-voxel acquisitions, extending the PROBE-2D CSI capabilities (PROBE 2D CSI is mandatory).
     
PROBE-2D CSI PROBE-2D 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.
 
     


Advanced Body, Breast & MSK Applications


StarMap StarMap
  BREASE BREASE

StarMap generates grayscale and color maps that show the T2* or rate of signal decay (R2*), helping assess iron concentration in heart and other tissues.
 
BREASE helps enhance diagnostic confidence by improving the ability to characterize lesions and monitor response to therapy. It is a breast-specific, single-voxel spectroscopy application designed for ease-of-use and enhanced visualization.
     
CartiGram CartiGram
   

CartiGram is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides high-resolution T2 value maps of cartilage and other tissues. The color-coded T2 maps help assess articular cartilage integrity, providing the information needed to help determine the best course of treatment.

Inhance Inhance
  TRICKS
TRICKS

The new GE suite of NCE MRA applications is robust, fast and easy to use. Inhance Inflow IR, Inhance 3D Velocity and Inhance 2D Inflow sequences deliver consistent, reproducible MRA data even in difficult-to-scan anatomies, which can result in fewer rescans and a more confident differential diagnoses.
 
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.
     
MR Echo MR Echo
  3D FIESTA 3D FIESTA

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 help perform cardiac exams 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.
 
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.

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.
     
Fluoro-Triggered MRA Fluoro-Triggered MRA   Flow Analysis 4.0 Flow Analysis 4.0

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.
 
Flow Analysis generates reports for the referring physician of gated phase contrast magnetic resonance (MR) images. Flow Analysis has an automated contour detection algorithm that propagates through all the phases of the cine phase contrast series.
