NEWS BRIEF

Magnetic Resonance today
Clinicians today face increasing demands, with high patient volumes, staffing shortages, and growing complexity in diagnosing conditions—all of which contribute to significant burnout. Imaging needs have expanded across specialties like neurology, orthopaedics, and cardiology, pushing for faster, more precise diagnostic tools that can support timely, accurate insights. Given these challenges, the need for advanced MR technology is clear. Innovations like GE HealthCare’s deep learning-enhanced MR systems, including Sonic DL, AIR Recon DL, and the high-performance SIGNA MAGNUS for specialized neuroimaging, are essential for streamlining workflows, reducing scan times, and improving image quality. These technologies support clinicians in delivering high-quality, efficient care while enhancing patient comfort and outcomes.

*NEW* Sonic DL™ 3D & SIGNA™ MAGNUS
Sonic DL™ 3D : GE HealthCare’s Sonic DL for 3D is the newest addition to GE HealthCare’s effortless imaging portfolio. This technology is designed to support accelerated MRI scans across a broad range of clinical applications. Following Sonic DL’s successful 2023 debut for cardiac imaging, where it achieved up to 12x scan acceleration, Sonic DL for 3D now expands this capability to 3D volumetric imaging for brain, spine, orthopedic, and body exams. Designed to help manage increasing patient demands, it will deliver up to 86% faster scans while preserving diagnostic quality. Combined with AIR Recon DL, which reduces noise and enhances resolution by up to 55%, Sonic DL for 3D will help empower clinicians to improve diagnostic workflows, increase patient comfort, and enhance diagnostic confidence. It is intended to streamline high demand imaging tasks, supporting clinicians in improving speed across a majority of MR exams.

SIGNA™ MAGNUS : The FDA-cleared SIGNA MAGNUS is a high-performance, head-only 3.0T MRI scanner engineered specifically for neuroimaging. This specialized system features the advanced HyperG gradient coil, which achieves industry-leading gradient performance with a 300 mT/m gradient amplitude and 750 T/m/s slew rate. Designed to facilitate both clinical imaging and neuroscience research, SIGNA MAGNUS offers high-resolution neuroimaging with shorter scan times, benefiting patient comfort and enabling more precise, high-signal-to-noise ratio imaging. Its asymmetrical design, with the gradient isocenter shifted to the patient’s head, allows enhanced access to brain structures and minimizes shoulder interference, offering a distinct advantage for neuro exams. SIGNA MAGNUS’s specialized technology and compact head-only design support advanced diffusion techniques, brain microstructure visualization, and biomarker research—enabling clinicians and researchers to explore complex neurodegenerative, oncological, and psychiatric conditions with greater clarity and accuracy.

SIGNA Champion
SIGNA Champion is a 1.5T wide bore platform that will improve accessibility to GE HealthCare’s breakthrough technologies at a competitive entry point. The system delivers a high standard of care which provides the MR experience that everyone deserves. It supports true patient comfort with features that allow patients, already experiencing pain & discomfort, to be setup in their most natural positions and with shorter scan times. The system is modular and can be scaled to cater to a wide variety of customers, from small outpatient community centres to a standardized solution for integrated enterprises that manage multiple centres and fleets of MRIs.
