Get closer to what you need to see with AIR™ Coils, adaptive MRI coils

Since the very first MRI, coils have been both a bridge and a barrier between radiologists and what they need to see. The flexibility of AIR™ Coils makes it less of a barrier. By bringing the elements closer to the area of interest, it improves image quality. It also opens opportunities to image patient types and anatomies that previously were challenging to image with conventional MRI coil designs.

Discover the benefits of AIR™ Coils

The transformative way with adaptive MRI coils

AIR™ Coils are the new standard in MRI coil technology. With simply better versatility, comfort, design and innovation, AIR™ Coils is the transformative way forward for MR.

Adaptability

Get closer with adaptive MRI coils

The shape of the MRI coil no longer determines what you can do with it. Wrap it around a knee for a complete knee image. Drape it over the patient's body. With an adaptive AIR™ Coil that is light, form fitting and easy to position, it’s the closest you can get to total positioning freedom with 360-degree coverage.

Comfort

Like being wrapped in a blanket

We wanted to design a coil that would free patients from the experience of traditional coils by replacing that experience with one that is both comfortable and comforting, like being wrapped in a blanket. AIR™ Coils not only behaves like a blanket, it truly feels like one. Its light weight is evenly distributed, without any concentrated points of pressure, to help patients feel more at ease. From young or claustrophobic patients to professional athletes, AIR™ Coils comfortably conforms to the size and shape of every patient.
