GE Healthcare Discovery MR750w 3.0T - Manual (Page 8)

Coils are to MR what lenses are to a camera. They help focus the energy of MR
into a clearer picture of your patients. However, no two patients are alike and
traditional coil design can sometimes emphasize function over comfort. And an
uncomfortable, moving patient can sometimes lead to poor image quality and
time-consuming re-scans.
Not any more. The Geometry Embracing Method (GEM) Suite is designed to bring
a new level of comfort to patients, minimizing anxiety and motion during the
exam. Crafted to embrace the patient, these flexible coils make for a relaxed scan
experience. This also makes it easier for technologists to correctly position their
patients without strain or difficulty.
Imagine what your patients will say when you can now offer feet-first imaging
for all exam types, lightweight, flexible coils and a re-designed table surface that
alleviates pressure points. They’ll probably thank you.
EMBRACE THE PATIENT.
FLEXIBLE COILS.
GEM express patient table and posterior array
The GEM express patient table is a mobile
patient transport with an embedded high-
density, posterior RF coil array. The integrated
posterior array supports both head-first and
feet-first imaging for all anatomies and can
help eliminate the need to reposition patients
within an exam, as well as the need for coil
exchanges.

GEM anterior array
The GEM anterior array facilitates extended
coverage of chest, abdomen, pelvis and
cardiac imaging. It is lightweight, flexible, thin
and pre-formed to conform to the patient’s
size and shape.
GEM small anterior array
The GEM small anterior array is
tailored for smaller patients and
dedicated cardiac exams.

We’ve completely changed how we think about coil
design. With GEM Suite, patients can expect a more
comfortable exam with open, flexible coils that naturally
follow the contours of the human body.
