GE SIGNA^TM Pioneer MRI Scanner - 70 cm

MAGiC (Magnetic Resonance Image Compilation)

For the first time ever in the industry, you can generate multiple image contrasts in a single MRI scan including T1, T2, Inversion Recovery (eg. DIR, PSIR, FLAIR, etc..), and PD contrasts of the brain in a single acquisition.

One scan that can do the work of many, with images acquired in as little as half the time to acquire separate sequences, fully integrated in a seamless workflow.

Lower Cost to Set up and Operate

Imagine siting a 3.0T system in a 1.5T siting space. SIGNA Pioneer is bringing 3.0T to places it has never been before. It has one of the smallest total siting footprint in the industry and is 25% smaller than conventional 3.0T systems.

The SIGNA Pioneer is designed to use approximately 50% less power than conventional 3.0T wide bore designs through innovative ultra-high efficiency gradient technology. This means tremendous energy and operational cost savings while delivering high end 3.0T performance at the same time.

IMAGINE scans sharper than you thought possible

The SIGNA Pioneer offers startling advances in imaging starting with pioneering technology called TDI, meaning greater clarity and increased SNR by up to 25%.

TDI is built on three fundamental components:

• Smart digitization with GE’s Direct Digital Interface (DDI) which employs an independent analog-to-digital converter to digitize inputs from each of 97 RF channels, literally redefining the concept of an RF channel. Not only does DDI technology improve SNR, but it also works with legacy GE coils for unmatched flexibility.
• Digital Surround Technology (DST) combines the superior SNR and sensitivity of the high-density surface coils with the superior homogeneity and deeper signal penetration of the integrated RF body coil allowing richer, higher quality in spine and body imaging.
• Digital Micro Switching (DMS) technology revolutionizes the receive chain by replacing analog blocking circuits with intelligent Micro Electro-Mechanical Switches (MEMS), making ultra-fast coil switching times possible for further expansion of zero TE imaging capabilities.

Besides its unique and future-ready 97 RF channel technology, the SIGNA Pioneer uses a high-homogeneity 3.0T magnet to bring consistency in image quality across patients, a solid foundation for your long term investment .

The SIGNA Pioneer benefits from the exclusive TDI Coil Suite which delivers remarkable image quality with a set of coils designed to be patient-centered. It includes an embedded posterior array, high-density Head & Neck array, an anterior array with extended anatomical coverage and other highly performing MSK-dedicated coils.
