• MAGiC (Magnetic Resonance Image Compilation)

    For the first time ever in the industry, you can generate multiple image contrasts in a single MRI scan including T1, T2, STIR, T1 FLAIR, T2 FLAIR* and PD contrasts of the brain in a single acquisition.

    One scan that can do the work of many, with images acquired in as little as half the time to acquire separate sequences, fully integrated in a seamless workflow.

    *It is recommended to acquire conventional T2 FLAIR images in addition to MAGiC.

  • MAGiC

    Complete flexibility for multiple contrast changes

    You can change the contrast of the image by manipulating TR, TE and TI even after the scan is completed and the patient has exited the MR room. MAGiC processing will provide you any desired contrast paving the way to new diagnostic capabilities.

    MAGiC even goes beyond standard MR weighted images by processing raw data into parametric T1, T2 and PD maps.

Turbo LAVA/LAVA Flex

Turbo LAVA/LAVA Flex delivers faster body imaging by enabling shorter breath-holds and faster scans. It includes a novel ARC-based acceleration technique which speeds up any LAVA and LAVA Flex sequence up to almost 50 percent without impact on image quality

Fewer Repeats, Less Variation

  • ROI

    Lower Cost to Set up and Operate

    Lower Cost to Site

    Imagine siting a 3.0T system in a 1.5T siting space. SIGNA Pioneer is bringing 3.0T to places it has never been before. It has one of the smallest total siting footprints in the industry and is 25% smaller than conventional 3.0T systems.

    Lower Cost to Operate

    The SIGNA Pioneer is designed to use approximately 50% less power than conventional 3.0T wide bore designs through innovative ultra-high efficiency gradient technology. This means tremendous energy and operational cost savings while delivering high end 3.0T performance at the same time. 

Unmatched Patient Experience

ASTONISH … Designed to deliver an unmatched patient experience

With the SIGNA Pioneer, we're pioneering a patient-centered design built on a new concept of higher patient comfort and lower patient anxiety.

Soothing Silence

With SilentSuite, which is both revolutionary and proprietary, the SIGNA Pioneer reduces dB levels from an ear-splitting, motorcycle-level 91dB to within 3dB of scan room ambient noise. Along with this dramatic advance comes the first-ever complete Silent Neuro Exam that includes Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI). In addition, we have expanded our Silent imaging capability beyond neuro imaging to musculoskeletal and spine imaging.

Breathe Free

With its free-breathing imaging applications and advanced motion correction software, SIGNA Pioneer will compensate for patient movement and allow complete free-breathing body imaging. This includes dynamic contrast enhanced MR imaging, improving dramatically patient experience but also image quality in very challenging situations.

Rest Easy

The 70 cm wide bore design means more space and less anxiety. Not only is the bore wider, but so is the table. The SIGNA Pioneer's Comfort Plus patient table even sits lower to the ground, making it easier for patients to get on and off.

Non invasive procedures

3D Arterial Spin Labeling (3D ASL) delivers quantitative perfusion assessment-without radiation or the need for injection. IDEAL IQ delivers whole liver 3D coverage in a single breath-hold. It provides a non-invasive, quantitative assessment of triglyceride fat content in the liver that can aid in diagnosis. Further, our Inhance Suite delivers a set of non-contrast angiography solutions.

Pioneering Applications

  • SilentSuite

    Delivers unique patient comfort features through imaging at the sound of Silenz (less than 3dB over ambient). SilentSuite now includes a full neuro exam (T1, T2 FLAIR, DWI, MRA) with less than 11 dBA above ambient noise and sequences covering from head to toe. 

  • DISCO

    MR as simple as CT
    Whole liver volumetric imaging in as little as 3 seconds. It is so fast you can generate multiple phases in a single breath-hold which helps ensure that the enhancement is always captured so that each scan is done right the first time. DISCO rapidly generates time-resolved 4D images to meet the challenge of dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging.

  • FOCUS

    Delivers a highly efficient method for increasing the resolution in Single Shot DW EPI sequences. Utilizing a multi-dimensional selective excitation, FOCUS supports small field of view imaging of specific organs with higher diagnostic quality, lower artifacts and faster exam times compared to conventional diffusion imaging.
