GE Healthcare GEM Suite - Manual (Page 7)

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
coil elements closer to the anatomy.
Over the course of a full day, patient setup for an MR exam can become
a tedious process for technologists due to the weight and sheer number
of coils that are required with most MR systems. With the GEM Suite,
we’ve minimized the overall amount of coils and made them lightweight
to cause less strain for the technologist. This helps reduce both exam
times and the number of coil exchanges required. For example, using the
open-face design of the GEM head and neck unit with comfort tilt makes
it faster and easier for technologists to help patients feel more relaxed
during their scan. And if those patients are more relaxed, that means
tranquil workflow for the technologists.
