Signa™ Pioneer 3T

Be amazed. See things you never imagined. SIGNA™ Pioneer 3T is named for the many ways we explore and expand the possibilities of magnetic resonance imaging. This ground-breaking system uses pioneering technology to create sharper images than you’d expect, for more patients per day than you thought possible, all with greater comfort and less anxiety than patients ever anticipated.

Product Categories

SIGNA™Works AIR™ Edition includes:

AIR x: Automatic slice prescription for brain scans, cutting setup time by a factor of five and reducing mouse clicks by fourfold.

MAGiC (Magnetic Resonance Image Compilation)

For the first time, you can generate MRI scan, including T1-, T2-, STIR-, T1 FLAIR-, T2 FLAIR-, and proton density-weighted images of the brain—all from one acquisition.

It’s essentially multiple scans in half the time required for individual sequences, seamlessly integrated into a continuous workflow.

* T2 FLAIR is recommended in addition to MAGiC.

MAGiC

Full Flexibility for Contrast Adjustments

You can adjust image contrast by manipulating TR, TE, and TI even after the scan is finished and the patient has left the MRI suite. MAGiC processing provides any contrast you need and opens new diagnostic capabilities.

MAGiC also goes beyond standard weighted MRI by converting raw data into parametric T1, T2, and proton density maps.

Productivity

Turbo LAVA/LAVA Flex

Offers a collection of images of the body more quickly, shorten the time for holding your breath and make scans faster.

Incorporates an acceleration technique is a novel based on the ARC that streamlines any sequence of LAVA and LAVA Flex up to almost 50 % without affecting the image quality.

Reduced Repeats, Lower Variability

SIGNA™ Pioneer 3T features GE’s exclusive 3D PROMO (Prospective Motion Correction in 3D, in real time) and the proven PROPELLER technique, both significantly reducing motion artifacts.

Improved Technologist Ergonomics

  • Intuitive Reference Points with One Touch-N-Go IntelliTouch
  • Easy In-Room Setup thanks to dual touchscreens

RDI

Lower Set-up and Operating Costs
Reduced Installation Costs

Imagine installing a 3.0T MRI system in the same space typically occupied by a 1.5T. SIGNA™ Pioneer makes 3.0T systems viable in locations where they were never feasible before. It has one of the smallest total installation footprints on the market—25% smaller than traditional 3.0T wide-bore systems.

Reduced Operating Costs

SIGNA™ Pioneer is engineered to use about 50% less power than conventional 3.0T wide-bore designs, thanks to an innovative, high-efficiency gradient system. That translates to substantial operational and energy savings while still delivering outstanding 3.0T performance.

Pioneering technology

Sharper Scans Than You Ever Thought Possible

TDI (Total Digital Imaging) 

SIGNA™ Pioneer delivers remarkable imaging breakthroughs, starting with TDI, a pioneering technology that provides clearer scans and improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by up to 25%.

TDI consists of three key components:

  • Smart Digitization with DDI (Direct Digital Interface): Uses an independent analog-to-digital converter for each of the 97 RF channels, redefining what it means to be an RF channel. DDI not only boosts SNR but also works with earlier GE coils, ensuring unprecedented flexibility.
  • DST (Digital Surround Technology): Combines the higher SNR and sensitivity of high-density surface coils with the homogeneity and deeper signal penetration of the integrated RF body coil, resulting in higher-quality body and spine imaging.
  • eMode: Replaces analog blocking circuits with ultra-fast, smart switching, further expanding zero TE imaging capabilities.

Its exclusive technology of 97 RF channels, compatible with the current and future technology, the system SIGNA Pioneer employs a magnet 3.0-T high uniformity to provide consistency in the quality of the image, which represents a solid foundation in your long-term investment.

Integrated TDI Coil Range

SIGNA™ Pioneer benefits from the exclusive range of coils TDI:

  • Offers remarkable image quality with a set of coils designed with the patient in mind.
  • Includes a set of integrated posterior, a whole head-and-neck high-density.
  • A previous set with anatomical coverage expanded, and other coils musculoskeletal high performance.

UNMATCHED PATIENT EXPERIENCE

Designed for a Remarkable Patient Experience

With SIGNA™ Pioneer, we have pioneered a patient-centered design that offers more comfort and less anxiety.

Relaxing Silence

With SilentSuite, which is an application patented revolutionary system, the SIGNA Pioneer reduces the levels of dB from the deafening 91 dB a motorcycle to 3 dB of ambient noise of a room for exploration.

In addition, with this impressive progress is the first exploration Silent Neuro complete DWI-weighted imaging (diffusion).

In addition, we have expanded our function of image acquisition in silence from the images neurological until the musculoesquéleticas and column.

Fluid Breathing

With their applications, acquisition of images with free breathing and advanced software correction of the movement, SIGNA Pioneer will compensate for any movement of the patient and allow for a full acquisition of images of the body with free breathing.

It includes image acquisition MRI dynamic contrast, which greatly improves the patient experience in addition to the image quality in very complex situations.

Comfortable rest

The 70 cm wide bore means more space and less discomfort for the patient. The Comfort Plus table is also wider—not just the bore—allowing the table to sit lower so patients can get on and off more easily.

Non-invasive procedures

The labeling of arterial spin in 3D (3D ASL) offers assessment of perfusion quantitative, without radiation or injections. IDEAL IQ provides you with full 3D coverage of the liver in a single breath holding. Provides a quantitative assessment and non-invasive imaging of the triglyceride content of the liver that can serve as an aid in the diagnosis.

In addition, with Inhance Suite offers a set of solutions of angiography without contrast.
