Neuro Imaging
GE’s advancements in neuro imaging continue with the delivery of Optima Edition enhancements. In short, Signa HDxt 1.5T Optima Edition is a natural for neuro.
WEnhanced DWI E N
The enhanced DWI technique supports multiple b-values in one acquisition with flexible control of NEX for each b-value. Novel diffusion techniques “3-in-1” and “tetrahedral” allow applying gradients in multiple directions simultaneously to improve scan efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio.
SWAN
SWAN is a multi-echo 3D imaging technique that helps visualize and clearly delineate small vessels and microbleeds, as well as large vascular structures, and iron or calcium deposits in the brain. This image of the entire brain with the 0.5 x 0.6 x 2 mm voxel was acquired in 4:50 min.
BrainWave
A suite of applications for functional brain mapping. Includes a robust acquisition sequence, easy-to-administer paradigms and complete post-processing and visualization tools. BrainWave Fusion integrates an eloquent cortex map and DTI white-matter trajectories with a high-resolution 3D anatomy data set.
PROPELLER*
Correct for motion artifacts and enhance tissue contrast without compromising image resolution or prolonging scan time —and reduce susceptibility artifacts to clearly visualize small or subtle lesions. Generate consistently excellent images with less retakes, even on restless children, or patients with tremors.

N 3D ASL
3D ASL is a robust non-contrast tissue perfusion imaging technique that provides quantitative assessment of cerebral blood flow (CBF)
and color perfusion maps (bottom). The hyperintense signal in the left parietal occipital lobe on this axial T2 image (far right) correlates well with clearly depicted hyperperfusion on the 3D ASL image (right). Note excellent SNR throughout the entire anatomy.
Cube*
Cube replaces several plane-after-plane 2D acquisitions with a single 3D volume scan — providing you with T2, T2 FLAIR, or PD contrast. Easily reformat sub-millimeter isotropic volume data from a single acquisition into any plane without gaps — and with the same resolution as the original plane.
ARC is an innovative, auto-calibrating, datadriven, parallel imaging method designed to reduce scan time and streamline reconstruction with high accuracy. In addition, it enables small fields of view during prescription.
BRAVO
A 3D inversion-prepared SPGR technique, BRAVO provides high resolution T1-weighted brain images with optimized grey-white matter contrast, using GE’s innovative self-calibrating ARC parallel imaging technique. This 3D image of a patient with brain metastasis was acquired with 1 mm3 voxel.
High-Density
Head-Neck-Spine Array
Image the head, neck, and spine without changing arrays or repositioning the patient.
And, do it with high definition.
