GEM Flex Suite
The GEM Flex Suite is a set of lightweight and flexible arrays that
accommodate a wide range of patient sizes and shapes. The suite
consists of three high-density 16-channel arrays, knee support with a
fixation device and a coil fixation pad for high-resolution imaging of
the hips, knees, ankles, feet, wrists, elbows and shoulders. These coils
remove the need for the patient to fit into a hard-shell array that is not
designed for their particular body type.
GEM head and neck unit
The GEM head and neck unit (HNU) can support
head-first or feet-first imaging. The open-face
design provides an unobstructed view for
patients. GEM comfort tilt helps improve patient
comfort by elevating the superior end of the coil.
This enhances image quality by positioning the
anatomy, for example in kyphotic patients, closer
to the coil elements.
