MR 30 for SIGNA featuring expanded AIR Recon DL applications

The MR 30 for SIGNA™ software release extends AIR™ Recon DL to 3D, motion-insensitive PROPELLER and integrates a host of additional applications. AIR™ Recon DL is GE’s pioneering, deep-learning-based reconstruction for improving SNR and image sharpness, while enabling shorter scan times.

With upgrade programs such as Lift and EVO available, AIR™ Recon DL is compatible with the vast majority of GE’s 1.5T, 3.0T and 7.0T systems. It enables personalized, end-to-end clinical solutions, from patient setup to scanning and to diagnostic report. In addition, MR 30 for SIGNA™ brings further extensions of HyperSense to additional sequences.

AIR™ Recon DL for 2D imaging. AIR™ Recon DL is expanded to diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), FSE Flex, CartiGram T2 mapping, cardiac T1 mapping, and single-shot phase sensitive myocardial delayed enhancement (SSh PS MDE) with respiratory triggering.

AIR™ Recon DL PROPELLER. AIR™ Recon DL is now compatible with PROPELLER, making it even easier to diagnose challenging anatomies with a multitude of contrasts.

AIR™ Recon DL for 3D. AIR™ Recon DL expands its compatibility to most 3D sequences, including Cube, fast spin echo, gradient echo and fast gradient echo.

BrainWave CSD & probabilistic tractography. Constrained Spherical Deconvolution (CSD) for BrainWave is an improved method for modeling diffusion data from HARDI data sets and intended for multi-shell DTI.

Prescan time reduction. Prescan times are automatically reduced by approximately 20%-30% without any impact on image quality.

ASL flexible label duration. This update to GE’s 3D pCASL application brings a user-selectable label duration for improved perfusion SNR and increased robustness to flow pulsatility.

HyperSense extensions to CE-MRA and SWAN. HyperSense, GE’s compressed sensing acceleration technique, is extended to contrast-enhanced MR angiography (3D ToF) and susceptibility weighted imaging (SWAN), leading to shorter scan times and/or higher resolution.

Time-course myocardial blood flow mapping. AIR™ Recon DL-compatible time-course MBF mapping offers dual-bolus and pre-bolus protocols for improved rest and stress perfusion exams.
