Our Elite Body is a complete clinical package, providing comprehensive body MRI capabilities ranging from routine body MR diagnostic imaging to specialized imaging strategies for oncological applications.
Elite Body can help you achieve faster, more confident diagnoses and provide information to support treatment advice for referring physicians.
With Elite Body you will:
- Benefit from more robust fat suppression, improved SNR and more speed with mDIXON, a novel multipoint method for 3D water-fat magnetic resonance imaging.
- Further enhance your diagnostic confidence, through excellent imaging of lesion(s) with Whole Body Diffusion Weighted Imaging.
- Achieve exceptional consistency and uniformity in 3.0T body imaging, with MultiTransmit patient-adaptive imaging technology.
Speed up and simplify your MRI liver exams with mDIXON
When imaging the liver, flexible volumetric imaging provides greater confidence in diagnosing liver disease. The modified DIXON technique (mDIXON) is a novel multipoint method for 3D water-fat magnetic resonance imaging. mDIXON’s unrestricted echo time (TE) allows more efficient scanning than traditional DIXON methods. It provides four images in one breath hold: water and fat images, plus in-phase and opposed-phase images. Compared with current 3D volumetric fat suppression methods, mDIXON provides greater speed, improved SNR, multiple contrasts and more robust fat suppression. Add exclusive SENSE parallel imaging techniques, combined with high-channel body coils, so you can benefit of superb image quality.

Advanced diagnostic tools
Diffusion imaging provides additional information that can help quantify and characterize various lesions and disease states. Whether using low b-values for reducing vascular signal or high b-values for depicting specific lesion types, Elite Body provides you with powerful diffusion capabilities. What’s more, thanks to the advanced 16 and 32-channel SENSE Torso/Cardiac coil, Elite Body delivers excellent high resolution imaging for delineation of lesions and vasculature, e.g. to support oncology surgery. Moreover, the 4 D THRIVE technique delivers excellent temporal and spatial resolution. Elite Body can also be adapted to meet your needs, and in difficult patients our unique MotionTrak navigator techniques adapt the acquisition to the patient’s breathing capability. And the combination of SENSE with breath-hold scans provides shorter EPI readouts, reducing scan times and artifacts.
Faster, more robust body imaging at 3.0T with patient-adaptive MultiTransmit
| | Philips patient-adaptive MultiTransmit technology allows you to take advantage of the advanced tools provided by Elite Body at 3.0T. MultiTransmit can adapt the RF signals to each individual patient to improve image uniformity and increase overall image consistency and contrast. And by using multiple RF sources, MultiTransmit allows an increase in scanning speed of
up to 40%.
