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, even
in difficult to scan anatomies and in the 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.

SWAN
|
|
 |
PROPELLER HD
|
This multi-echo 3D imaging technique helps visualize and clearly delineate
small vessels and micro bleeds, large vascular structures, and iron or calcium
deposits in the brain. SWAN generates more than twice SNR compared to a
conventional T2*, producing excellent images and allowing high spatial resolution.
|
|
PROPELLER HD corrects for patient motion and enhance tissue contrast without
compromising image resolution or prolonging scan time – helping clearly
visualize even small or subtle lesions in uncooperative patients or difficult
to image anatomy.

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. |
|
|
|
 |
BrainWave Fusion |
|
 |
Diffusion Tensor Imaging |
BrainWave Fusion provides the ability to fuse high-resolution anatomical
images with fMRI activation maps and diffusion tensor fiber maps. This package
is useful for evaluating the spatial relationship between activation patterns,
fiber tracts, and underlying anatomy and pathology.
|
|
DW EPI Tensor or 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.
|
|
|
|
 |
FiberTrak |
|
 |
3D COSMIC |
The FiberTrak option adds 2D color FA maps, 2D 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.
|
|
3D COSMIC generates optimized grey/white matter contrast in the spine, helping
visualize nerve roots and inter-vertebral disks, while maintaining soft-tissue
contrast.

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).

Inhance
|
|
 |
TRICKS-XV
|
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, resulting
in fewer rescans and more confident differential diagnoses.
|
|
TRICKS XV 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 provides excellent high-resolution images of
fluid filled structures in very rapid acquisition times. FIESTA employs
ultra-short TR's and TE's for very fast scan times with outstanding 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.
|

FGRE-ET |
|
 |
Myocardial Delayed Enhancement |
The Fast Gradient Echo-Echo Train pulse sequence provides dynamic high temporal
and spatial resolution images of the myocardium that are ideally suited
for the evaluation of myocardium.
|
|
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.
2D Myocardial Delayed
Enhancement |
 |
Cardiac Tagging |
|
3D Myocardial Delayed Enhancement
|
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.
|
|
|
Fluoro-Triggered MRA |
| 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.
