CartiGram *
CartiGram is a non-invasive imaging method
to assess articular cartilage integrity, detect
early cartilage degeneration, and non-invasively
monitor patient progress. It allows better
visualization of collagen fiber network loss or
degradation that translates into focal T2 increase.
High-Density Coils
HD Wrist Array
The HD Wrist Array is an 8-channel phased array
design that is optimized for parallel imaging.
HD Knee Array
Tapered to the knee for superb SNR performance,
the HD Knee Array’s 8-channel, 9-element
transmit/receive phased-array design virtually
eliminates aliasing artifacts for superior, high
resolution imaging.
HD Foot and Ankle Array
The HD Foot and Ankle Array is optimized for
ASSET parallel imaging and produces exquisite
images of the structures of the foot and ankle.
The design also provides fast and easy set-up.
HD Shoulder Array
with Concentric Technology
The HD Shoulder Array introduces an
innovative concentric coil design by GE that
provides improved coverage, while also
improving SNR penetration. It also is optimized
for off-center imaging with robust fat saturation.
Cube *
Cube replaces several slice-by-slice, plane-
after-plane 2D acquisitions with a single 3D
volume scan utilizing state-of-the-art imaging
acceleration technique, ARC. Easily reformat
sub-millimeter isotropic volume data from a
single Cube acquisition into any plane —
without gaps, and with the same resolution
as the original plane.
