Multi-Channel RF Technology Explained

High quality RF coils and an optimized RF chain allow image acquisition with up to 8 channels and up to 16 CP coil elements. All array coils are iPAT compatible, for faster, higher differentiated and more clinically relevant images.

Integrated Panoramic Array (lPA) allows flexible combinations of up to 16 CP coil elements from up to 4 different coils. Patients and technologists will enjoy the easy handling and set-up time: the lower port of the CP Head Array Coil and the entire CP Spine Array Coil stay on the table for many exams.

• MRI produces the clearest and most detailed images possible of soft-tissue structures of the body (e.g., the heart, lungs and liver). The high level of detail makes MRI an invaluable tool in early diagnosis and evaluation of tumors. It also reveals abnormalities that can be obscured by bone with other imaging methods.
• MRI can help physicians evaluate the function as well as the structure of many organs.
• MRI does not expose the patient to radiation. Also, the contrast material does not produce an allergic reaction. (We work with Berlex Laboratories, which manufactures the highest quality contrast materials available.)
• MRI offers a fast, noninvasive alternative to x-ray angiography for diagnosing problems ofthe heart and cardiovascular system.
• MR angiography (MRA) offers fast three-dimensional (3D) single breath-hold sequences for contrast enhanced MRA. As there is no radiation exposure, minimal invasivity and short examination time with high accuracy, MRA represents an alternative to digital arteriography.
