GE Healthcare GEM Suite - Manual (Page 4)

EMBRACE
THE PATIENT.
GEM anterior array and small anterior array
The GEM anterior array and small anterior array
facilitate extended coverage of chest, abdomen,
pelvis and cardiac imaging. They are lightweight,
flexible, thin and pre-formed to conform to the
patient’s size and shape. The elements in each
array are optimized to match the geometry of
the patient, maximizing both clinical performance
and comfort.
FLEXIBLE COILS
VARIABLE DENSITY FOAM PADDING
FEET-FIRST IMAGING
What happens when you make your patients more comfortable during
their scan? They’re less likely to move, allowing you to get the images you
need without time-consuming rescans. That’s exactly what the GEM Suite
was designed to do. We started by making the coils flexible to embrace
any patient size or shape including a child’s wrist or an athlete’s shoulder.
We then added variable density foam padding on the table to minimize
pressure points, helping to reduce a patient’s tendency to shift their weight.
We also enabled feet-first scanning for all anatomies so patients can
see comfortably outside the scanner and maintain eye contact with the
technologist. Just imagine what your patients will say when you can now
offer all of these features to help make their MR scan more enjoyable.
They’ll probably thank you.
