Here are the details of an MRI system that is available immediately;


GE 1.5T Signa MR/i MRI System


  • High Homogeneity 1.5 Tesla wide-open, dual flared, short bore, actively shielded superconducting CXK4 magnet
  • Echo Speed Plus Gradient System (ACGD) 33mT/m, SR120
EchoSpeed Plus gradient subsystem provides ultra high productivity gradients with an amplitude/strength of 33mT/m or 3.3 g.cm for high resolution work and a minimum 2cm Field-of-View

A slew rate of 120 T/M/s from zero to maximum amplitude provides high resolution imaging capability in all planes

Rise Time 276 Microsecs

EchoSpeed Plus provides improved productivity for all imaging techniques and may be used to improve spatial resolutions, SNR, CNR, and slice coverage

Variable FOV from 2cm – 48cm

Flexible Slice Thickness allow very thin slice acquisitions for High Resolution Imaging:
3D (0.1mm to5.0 mm)
2D (.9mm to 20.0 mm)

60 cm diameter patient aperture

Actively shielding Gradient System

Phased Array System provides digital transceiver including pulse controller, digital RF signal generator, four (4) multiple digital RF filters and ultra low noise pre-amplifiers for superior SNR for high resolution imaging.
