1 GE Healthcare Introducing Brivo MR T Bringing high-field MR within reach

2 If 1.5T MR technology has been just out of reach for your practice, the Brivo MR355 will be a welcome advancement. The Brivo MR355 is part of the GE healthymagination initiative to make advanced diagnostic technology accessible and cost-effective. Everything about the design of the Brivo MR355 contributes to providing highquality imaging that will help you make definitive diagnoses for your patients with the productivity and simplicity you need to make it practical. Bringing high-field within MR reach Reach for greater value. Exceptionally affordable high-field MR technology. Reach for greater image quality. 8-channel RF, 33/100 gradient performance with a full 48-cm field of view (FOV). Reach new levels of simplicity. Easy to use so your technologists can do more. Reach for upgradeability. Continuum upgrade path for economical upgradeability. Reach your MR goals while managing MR costs. Reach for lower costs. Efficient workflow, energy savings, and reliability can help reduce cost of ownership without compromise.

3 Bringing simple and intuitive MR scanning within reach Ready Interface simplifies workflow by offering simplified control of scan parameters: Intuitive Ready Bar technology replaces 30 complex inputs with a single control Simplified scan optimization helps new technologists produce high-quality images Greater consistency from technologist to technologist and patient to patient Intuitive shortcuts enable you to easily access your most common protocols. 2:03 1:19 3:03 Ready Brain software automatically determines slice alignment for brain scans: Improved consistency Improved precision Ready Bar control reduces 30 inputs with a single control. It simplifies scan optimization for new technologists. Experienced users maintain full control of all parameters.

4 Uncompromised 1.5T image quality. Within your reach. The Brivo MR355 is a world-class 1.5T system that brings great MR value within reach without compromising the scanning range and high-field quality the world expects from GE Healthcare. The same proven, highly homogeneous magnet that is used throughout the GE 1.5T product line, including the Discovery MR450 Uncompromised 8-channel RF and 33/100 gradient performance 48-cm FOV magnet provides a broader view of spines, body images, and vascular exams in a single acquisition Advanced software applications provide high-definition imaging capability OpTix RF digital receiver is an exclusive optical RF system that increases signal clarity and maximizes signal intensity to produce clean, crisp images New Express Coil helps optimize the scanning experience: Simplifies workflow Streamlines scanning time Proximity of coils preserves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) Reduces handling and positioning of bulky coils between scans GE Healthcare was the first to introduce 1.5T MR scanners and continues to be a world leader in MR technology. This expertise helps bring to market a value-priced MR system that makes it easier than ever to produce highdefinition images. The new embedded coil technology used in the Brivo MR355 helps provide consistent, high-quality results and greater technologist confidence: 8-channel coil system for brain, neck, spine, and body exams 12-element posterior array embedded in the patient table Automatic element selection for spine exams Express Coil design achieves outstanding coverage and depth of penetration. Coil is positioned directly beneath the cradle minimizing the distance between the patient and the coil elements to maintain high SNR. Enables high-quality spinal cord imaging, even with larger patients.

5 Image gallery Spine, Body, & Vascular Neuro LAVA simplifies body exams, providing three phases of wholeorgan coverage with high-resolution in a short breath hold. 3D Time of Flight T2-weighted image demonstrating outstanding quality at over 40-cm FOV in the Z-axis. Inhance Inflow IR Exceptional imaging of renal arteries, without the use of contrast agents. Merge Provides excellent gray-white matter differentiation in the cervical spine. DTI/Fiber Trak Using a robust and efficient seeding process, DTI/Fiber Trak visualizes white matter trajectories in the brain, and generates black-and-white or colorcoded directional FA maps, as well as 3D white matter projections. T2 FlaIr showing excellent contrast of grey and white matter. PROPELLEr 2.0 delivers high-resolution, motion-insensitive imaging in the axial, sagittal or coronal plane. The Brivo MR355 ensures outstanding image quality for broad fields of view.

6 MSK The highly homogenous magnet of the Brivo MR355 enables uniform fat suppression, even for challenging off-isocenter exams. Brivo MR meters 3.33 meters The Brivo MR355 delivers big-time imaging capability with small siting requirements: Footprint is 20% smaller than other 1.5T systems only 25 square meters of space Power consumption is 34% less than previous generation systems can save 60,000 kwh per year compared with some 1.5T systems Part of GE s ecomagination family of products Never stop reaching for world-class MR imaging GE Healthcare brings together the best in science, technology, and business to help providers expand their healthcare service offerings and businesses with advanced diagnostic modalities and clinical applications.
