GE Healthcare Names New 3.0T MRI System for Today’s Healthcare Heroes

Key Facts

CHICAGO--()--GE Healthcare is proud to unveil SIGNA Heroi, a new 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system named in honor of all the healthcare workers who continue caring for our global community amidst today’s COVID-19 pandemic.
For example, prostate imaging – a traditionally uncomfortable experience – is now much faster, simpler and more comfortable with wing-to-wing clinical solutions like One Stop Prostate imaging with AIR Coils and AIR Recon DL, which can complete the patient scan in less than 15 minutes.
To begin, AIR Touch dramatically simplifies scan set up for technologists, reducing set up time by up to 37 percent with automated coil selection and landmarking that optimizes key elements in the coil configuration automatically to get an excellent image for every patient, while using the full power of each coil.
To help healthcare systems save on operational costs in the long run, SIGNA Hero is an eco-friendly system designed to be capable of lowering helium usage up to 67 percent due to GE Healthcare’s Intelligent Magnet Technology, which is 1.4x more efficient than previous generations.
