GE Healthcare Introduces EXCITE on SIGNA

GE EXCITE technology is the most significant advancement in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in more than 10 years. The new EXCITE platform for the 0.2T Profile System will allow physicians to see more of the human anatomy and function better and faster than ever before, allowing them greater clinical confidence.

"The EXCITE platform streamlines data management, empowering clinicians to use more advanced techniques and applications in their routine practice in less time," said Chris Austin MR Manager for Middle East and Africa at GE Healthcare.

The introduction of Excite technology on Profile provides users with the same user interface and the data management speed available on all high field scanners. Availability on the Profile system will enable improved patient handling and workflow with a potential to improve patient throughput. The EXCITE platform was developed and proven on GE's high field cylindrical Signa systems and migrated throughout the company's magnetic resonance (MR) line.

The 0.2T Profile EXCITE® technology is a patient friendly system that offers higher performance at low field. The open MR environment virtually eliminates patient anxiety and claustrophobia.

"Patients will be able to be scanned in the comfort of an open MR environment, but still benefit from the improved speed and image quality provided by EXCITE," said Austin.
