HIGH PERFORMANCE
GRADIENTS.
REDEFINING SPEED, ACCURACY AND REPRODUCIBILITY.
Dual Echo Liver Assessment
The robust gradients of the Discovery
MR750w allow you to capture the first
out-of-phase TE at 1.1 ms consistently
with excellent resolution.
When test driving a car, do you measure the performance of the engine simply
based on horsepower? Of course not. You measure it by how fast you can get
from the dealership to the highway and how well it handles along the way.
So why not apply that same logic to MR?
In fact, that’s how technologists do it today. When setting up a scan, they
don’t select the gradient amplitude and slew rate. They select scan parameters,
such as the sequence TR and TE, to generate the required clinical image contrast.
While the Discovery MR750w gradient system achieves high temporal
resolution and helps you drive the high patient throughput you desire,
it’s about more than just speed. The accuracy and linearity of the gradients
are required to support a true, uncompromised 50 x 50 x 50 cm field of view
and high resolution off of isocenter.
This high standard of gradient performance can be found on every
Discovery MR750w.
3D Gradwarp
Reduce image distortion by
correcting for gradient field
non-linearities in all three
directions, leading to more
spatial accuracy in the
resulting image.
