DESCRIPTION
Outperform with the power of next-generation PET/MR.
The SIGNA PET/MR combines the power of 3.0T with the next generation of PET technology. The innovative SIGNA PET/MR features 3.0T magnetic resonance (MR) technology integrated with GE’s latest positron emission tomography (PET) technology. The simultaneous acquisition of PET and MR data enables new opportunities for clinicians. MR is excellent for imaging soft tissue as well as functional and morphological details. PET enables clinicians to visualize cellular activity and metabolism. When users combine these two innovative tools, clinicians may be able to see early cellular changes before any anatomical changes could be observed and can then fuse the anatomical images and active biochemistry data together to pinpoint the area of abnormal cell growth.

FEATURES
- A comprehensive set of sequences designed to generate high-resolution images with T1, T2, T2 FLAIR, PD-weighted and MRA contrast with sound levels that are within 3dB of ambient conditions
- The system includes PET characterized RF coils that have been calibrated and attenuation corrected for during PET/MR whole body simultaneous scanning. The GEM Suite of flexible coils are designed for MR imaging of smaller structures and patient comfort
- Offers high channel count, analog to digital-optical signal conversion where it matters - inside the scan room to minimize noise and signal degradation, but away from the patient
- RF body coils are water and air-cooled for optimum duty-cycle performance, short repetition time (TR) and echo time (TE), producing sharp and clear images
- < 400ps timing resolution for fast TOF performance
- 25cm axial FOV for sensitivity and coverage
- 21cps/kBq for exceptional sensitivity
