GE SIGNATM Architech MRI Scanner

Total Digital Imaging (TDI)
The SIGNATM Architect offers startling advances in imaging and a total imaging win
with TDI.
GE's Direct Digital Interface (DDI) employs an independent analog-to-digital converter
to digitize inputs from each of 128 RF channels,
eliminating unnecessary noise enhancement.
Digital Micro Switching (DMS) technology represents a revolutionary advance
in RF coil design by replacing analog blocking circuits
with intelligent Micro Electro-Mechanical Switches (MEMS).
The SIGNATM Architect comes prepared for Digital Surround Technology (DST).
DST combines signals from every coil element. The exceptional SNR
and sensitivity of the high-density surface coils are combined
with the superior homogeneity and deeper signal penetration
of the integrated RF body coil.

TDI 48 Channel Head Coil and Coil Suite
Introduced with the SIGNATM Architect, the optional TDI 48 Channel Head
Coil delivers phenomenal performance for every patient,
with a fit-adaptable design that addresses 99.99%
of the population while preserving the highest SNR
and supporting advanced imaging capabilities such
as HyperWorks technologies.

eXpress Dockable Table
The SIGNATM Architect's eXpress table, with a memory foam surface,
delivers feet-first or head-first imaging for everyone. With its detachable egress,
you never have to worry about how quickly you can exit the MR suite.
And with IntelliTouch positioning, just touch the edge of the table
to position your patients.

FOV
In addition to accommodating larger patients, full 50x50x50cm FOV in a 70cm
wide bore allows you to properly image off-center anatomy such as shoulders and hips.
The SIGNATM Architect's phenomenal homogeneity enables largest FOV ever.

reFINE and deFINE
With reFINE, the challenge of 3.0T high-yield uniformity has finally met its match.
reFINE allows you to increase your control over improved RF pulse efficiency,
so you get clearer, crisper signals no matter your patient composition or position.

deFINE takes the results of SIGNATM Architect to the next level
by enhancing the image appearance with integrated inline optimizable settings.
These settings can be generated for each individual sequence or for the entire exam.
