High resolution, high-speed imaging for every joint
To meet all MSK imaging needs, Elite MSK offers an exceptionally broad range of MSK coils. The range includes:
- Dedicated Multi-channel SENSE MSK coils that provide high SNR and extend the limits of speed and resolution with minimal patient movement. For example:
- A flexible 8-channel small-extremity coil that’s easy to set up and provides a perfect fit for the elbow and hand/wrist
- A 16-channel knee coil with a large aperture that can accommodate all patients
- Multi-purpose coils in different sizes, providing flexibility and the opportunity to deal with special cases with the accuracy required:
- On Ingenia, the Anterior coil combined with the integrated Posterior coil improves workflow for many MSK applications, such as long bone imaging, hip imaging, and total spine
On Achieva, the 8-channel GP Flex L easily images various anatomies, such as hip and large knees
With these coils, 3D imaging provides crisp visualization of small structures in joints as well as the option to reformat in any direction.
Improve workflow and consistency
Using our powerful SmartExam Knee and SmartExam Shoulder planning, scanning and processing tools you can:
- Significantly reduce the time spent in setting up studies
- Create reproducible, consistent clinical images, without need for operator intervention and independent of the exact position of the patient within the scanner
High quality off-center imaging and maximum patient comfort in upper-extremity imaging is provided by:
- Excellent off-center homogeneity of Philips’ MRI systems, allowing easy patient positioning and avoiding the ‘superman’ position
- Advanced imaging tools, such as SPAIR fat suppression, provide homogeneous image contrast over the entire imaging volume
Get the most out of your system by using protocols:
- Delivered with the system
- Available on Netforum, which are validated by customers including those relevant for imaging close to metal
“We now use SmartExam Shoulder routinely and all our shoulder studies are very accurate and very consistent.”
