LAVA Flex
LAVA Flex is a 3D FSPGR imaging
technique that acquires fat/water
in-phase and out-of-phase echoes in
a single acquisition. Up to four types
of image contrasts may be achieved
within one acquisition: in-phase, out-
of-phase, water-only and fat-only.
3D ASL (Arterial spin labeling)
3D ASL utilizes water in arterial blood
as an endogenous contrast medium
to help visualize tissue perfusion and
provide quantitative assessment of
cerebral blood flow.
Inhance non-contrast MRA Suite
The Inhance non-contrast MRA Suite
is a series of non-contrast enhanced
techniques designed to image
vasculature of the brain, abdomen
and legs with excellent background
suppression in short exam times.
3D Heart
The whole heart volume is acquired
in several slabs, using a multi-slab
localizer that allows easy whole-
heart imaging for coronary arteries.

PROPELLER 3.0
PROPELLER has low sensitivity to motion
artifacts and high contrast-to-noise
properties. This makes it well suited for
producing high-resolution image quality
even under challenging circumstances.
MR Touch
MR Touch is a non-invasive method to
measure relative tissue stiffness with MR. MR
Touch combines hardware, acquisition and
reconstruction algorithms to produce color-coded
anatomical images, called elastograms, showing
varying degrees of elasticity or stiffness.
IDEAL IQ
IDEAL IQ is an exclusive technique that builds upon
the original IDEAL (iterative decomposition of water
and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares
estimation) technique. IDEAL IQ acquires multiple
images of the anatomy at separate echo times
to calculate the phase differences and determine
triglyceride fat and water content per pixel.
INTUITIVE
APPLICATIONS.
SEE TO UNDERSTAND.
NEEDLE-FREE SUITE.
Even with the right balance of design and technology, intuitive
applications are what truly drive better understanding of what
you need to see. The Optima MR360 Advance offers innovative
applications to help you utilize the full potential of 1.5T MR imaging.
How can you reduce the use of needles in certain exams? Our answer
is the Needle-Free Suite of MR applications. Take advantage of what
Needle-Free can offer with potential cost-savings for you and your facility,
faster workflow for your technologists and a more comfortable imaging
experience for your patients. For example, by avoiding contrast, you could
do up to three additional procedures per day that could translate into over
$77,000 in additional revenue
