Clinical Image Gallery

Signa Ovation 0.35T is designed to provide openness and patient comfort during the performance of routine and specialized clinical examinations using a comprehensive range of pulse sequences and image enhancement techniques. The system uses the proven LX computer platform - the same platform as used on our Signa OpenSpeed, and high field MR scanners. Using the same LX system simplifies the implementation of new applications and the training of technologists, and helps deliver the high quality and performance that customers have come to expect from GE.

We appreciate the support of the following Signa Ovation customer sites for providing the images: IRM Medical Sur, Mexico; Naraken Rehabilitation Center, Japan; Grossman Imaging Center, CA; and Sapporo Azabu NSH, Japan
