Technology

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans use magnets and radio waves to produce detailed pictures of the inside of the body. They provide information about almost all tissue types and can be used to differentiate between tissues of very similar density.

MRI scans can show bones, muscles, joints, blood vessels, nerves and other structures in great detail. Several different scans may be taken of the body to build up a three-dimensional image that is then displayed on a computer screen.

GE Healthcare’s Signa EXCITE 1.5T HD system is the world’s first 1.5T high definition magnetic resonance (HDMR) system. HDMR provides physicians with improved image clarity.  Exclusive to GE EXCITE systems, HDMR technology lets you easily diagnose those challenging patients who are the most difficult to examine with conventional MR approaches. Our system has special technology which compensates for patient movement. That means fewer scans have to be redone, and there is less inconvenience for you.

The hardware and software advances in the Signa EXCITE 1.5T HD system provide enhanced clinical and productivity advantages while creating a platform for new techniques and applications. The Signa EXCITE 1.5T HD system delivers a comprehensive applications suite, providing optimal diagnostic capabilities for the assessment of anatomy and function.
