GE Healthcare GEM Suite - Manual (Page 2)

IT STARTS
WITH EMPATHY.
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, with uniquely
sized elements, helps optimize spine image quality
without compromise. It also 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.
There’s no questioning the clinical value coils bring to MR imaging. But what if they
could do more than that? For example, how do your patients and technologists
see them? To understand their needs better, we changed our perspective. What
we discovered is traditional coil design cannot be tailored to the needs of each
individual patient and sometimes emphasizes function over comfort. And an
uncomfortable patient may lead lead to poor image quality and time-consuming
re-scans for you and your technologists.
Not any more. The Geometry Embracing Method (GEM) Suite is designed with
a renewed sense of empathy to bring an enhanced level of comfort to patients,
minimizing anxiety and motion during the exam. Crafted to embrace the unique
geometry of each patient by adapting its size and shape for a closer fit to the
desired anatomy, this suite of coils makes for a relaxed scan experience and
superior image quality. We’ve also reduced the overall number of coils and
made them more lightweight to make it easier for technologists to position
their patients without strain or difficulty.
With the GEM Suite, it’s simple. Comfortable patients, plus satisfied technologists,
equals better results you can see.
