PET/MR

The SIGNA™ PET/MR AIR system by GE HealthCare represents a breakthrough in advanced imaging, seamlessly integrating Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) technologies. This system provides highly detailed, comprehensive diagnostic information by combining the functional imaging capabilities of PET with the anatomical precision of MRI. It is designed to address the growing demand for more accurate, efficient, and comfortable imaging solutions in complex clinical applications, particularly in oncology, neurology, and cardiology.
Key Features:
Advanced PET/MR Integration: The SIGNA™ PET/MR AIR combines the sensitivity and functional insights of PET with the structural and soft tissue imaging capabilities of MR. This integration enables clinicians to obtain both anatomical and functional data from a single scan, which is critical for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, especially for cancer, brain disorders, and cardiovascular diseases.
AIR Recon DL Technology: This system uses AIR Recon DL, a deep learning-based image reconstruction technology, which significantly improves image quality by reducing noise while maintaining resolution. This breakthrough reduces scan times by up to 50%, making the imaging process faster and more efficient, while enhancing diagnostic accuracy and patient throughput. The use of AI-powered reconstruction also optimizes image clarity in difficult-to-scan regions of the body.
AIR Coil Technology: The SIGNA™ PET/MR AIR incorporates AIR Coils, which are lightweight, flexible, and patient-friendly. These coils conform more naturally to the patient’s body, providing increased comfort during the scan. Their flexibility also enables more accurate and uniform PET quantification, ensuring more reliable diagnostic data compared to traditional rigid coils.
MotionFree Brain PET: One of the system’s standout features is its MotionFree Brain PET technology, which corrects for patient movement during imaging without the need for external tracking devices. This innovation ensures that motion-related artifacts do not compromise image quality, resulting in more reliable imaging for brain studies. It is especially useful in pediatric and elderly patients, as well as in individuals who may have difficulty remaining still during scans.
Clinical Applications: The SIGNA™ PET/MR AIR is particularly effective in the diagnosis and monitoring of complex conditions such as oncology, where precise tumor localization, metabolic activity, and response to treatment are critical. It is also highly beneficial in neurology, for conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and epilepsy, where both anatomical and functional data are needed to understand disease progression. In cardiology, it helps assess heart function, perfusion, and other vital parameters in patients with heart disease.
Patient-Centered Design: Designed with patient comfort in mind, the SIGNA™ PET/MR AIR features a spacious and open bore that accommodates patients of varying sizes and enhances accessibility. This design reduces patient anxiety and claustrophobia, ensuring a more relaxed experience during the scan. The combination of fast scan times, high-quality images, and a comfortable patient experience makes this system an ideal choice for busy clinical settings where efficiency and quality are paramount.

The SIGNA™ PET/MR AIR system by GE HealthCare is an innovative solution for modern medical imaging, combining state-of-the-art PET and MR technologies into one comprehensive system. Its advanced imaging capabilities, AI-enhanced features, and patient-friendly design make
