Discovery* MR750w 3.0T**
Everything about the design of the new Discovery MR750w 3.0T scanner
illustrates our patient-centric vision in MR. Our focus starts with redesigned
patient ergonomics, flexible coils and feet first imaging for all anatomies
to help provide the comfort and care your patients deserve. In addition
to the exceptional comfort offered by the Discovery MR750w experience,
the system’s remarkable 3.0T MR technology– including a full 50 cm FOV,
44/200 high performance gradients, multi drive RF transmit, a complete
set of leadership applications - also delivers an exceptional level of
performance and productivity to provide the versatility and diagnostic
insight you desire. Insightful technology and a caring design; Discovery
MR750w is unlike other 3.0T MR scanners. In fact, it starts where
the others stop.

Wide-bore MR done right.
Optima* MR450w 1.5T with GEM Suite**
The Optima MR450w 1.5T wide bore MR just got better. Building on
a strong foundation, Optima MR450w with GEM coil suite adds a new
design and patient-friendly innovations to its robust 1.5T wide bore MR
platform - including redesigned patient ergonomics, flexible coils and feet
first imaging for all anatomies. The right capabilities, the right experience,

The GEM coil suite**
Available with Discovery* MR750w and Optima* MR450w, the innovative
GEM coil suite can significantly improve MR experience, for both patients
and technologists. This innovative MR coil suite fits virtually all patient sizes
and shapes while covering 98 percent of all exam types. GEM (Geometry
Embracing Method) technology provides not less than 160 different coil
mode configurations to best fit the anatomical region of interest,
on a total scanning range of 205cm. GEM coil suite design - including feet
first imaging and lighter flexible coils - contributes to bring more comfort
for your patients and technologists; and simply helps delivering exquisite
image quality for radiologists.

Extremely surprising.
Optima* MR430s** 1.5T
One of every four MR scans is ordered for an extremity—a wrist or a knee,
a hand or an ankle. While dedicated extremity systems make patients
comfortable, most lack the magnet strength to deliver image quality that
puts clinicians equally at ease. Harnessing the power of a 1.5T magnet,
the Optima MR430s is an extreme leap forward in high quality, specialty
MR imaging. Patients enjoy superb comfort and radiologists get the image
quality they need. Added to a busy radiology department, the system
can help relieve backlogs and improve patient flow—providing a smart
investment with a low total cost-of-ownership.

LOGIQ E9 technology gives you the freedom to use ultrasound in new
ways. You gain the power of extraordinary image quality for most patient

Volume Navigation is like having a GPS system to guide volume

clinicians confidently find their way by visually tracking positions during
the scan. You can reference points to locate anatomical structures
in different views. Simplify the counting of masses, lesions, and nodules.
And use in fusion application to correlate a specific point from a previous
CT, PET, MRI, Angio or Ultrasound exam to the live ultrasound. The addition
of Elastography and Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound to Fusion increase

Needle Tracking and Virtual Tracker virtually eliminate the difficulties
associated with needle placement. Prior to skin penetration, the guidance
system projects the needle path to the target, so you can plan the optimal
angle and point of entry. With Needle Tracking, the needle trajectory
is monitored in real-time as it progresses toward the target, enhancing
clinician confidence in routine as well as challenging situations. Scan

Just what you need.
DoseSense
Established worldwide through clinical installations and published studies,
GE Healthcare’s Innova* imaging systems featuring DoseSense provide
the clinical image quality you require to help you make confident decisions
during interventional procedures and help you reduce radiation exposure
to both you and your patients. Innova imaging systems are built on
three key, innovative GE technology pillars designed to maximize dose
efficiency, simplify dose management, and reduce dose. Independent
studies confirm that when operating under live fluoroscopy, GE’s Innova
doses are 22-75% lower than other flat panel detector systems1. Based
on evidence supporting the potential for these products to improve the
quality of patient care, the Innova* X-ray family of products has received
healthymagination validation from the external independent experts of
Oxford Analytica, an international research consultancy firm.
