HD Body Array
Available in 8-channel and 12-channel
configurations, this high-density design
is optimized for parallel imaging, superior
image quality, and short scan times.
Enhanced DWI
The enhanced DWI technique
supports multiple b-values in one
acquisition with flexible control
of NEX for each b-value. Novel
diffusion techniques “3-in-1”
and “tetrahedral” allow applying
gradients in multiple directions
simultaneously to improve scan
efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio.
This eDWI image of a patient with a
pancreas endocrine tumor and liver
metastases (left) was generated using
inversion recovery and a b value of
600 s/mm

FIESTA
FIESTA provides images with very high signal-
to-noise in scan times as short as 60ms.
FIESTA is also equipped with an optional fat
suppression pulse to mitigate bright signal
from fat.
3D Dual Echo
3D Dual Echo produces perfectly
registered, in-phase and out-of-phase
images in a single breath-hold — and
eliminates inter-slice gaps that could
compromise small lesion detection.
In-Phase Out-of-Phase
Enhanced MRCP
This 3D technique allows for multi-planar
reformats, and the volumetric images can
be manipulated to see behind overlapping
structures.
