Unleash

Clear advances with clear advantages

Now the potential for MR is even more astonishing with the SIGNA™ Architect, a state-of-the-art imaging solution that combines the advancements in MR technology with GE Healthcare's intuitive engineering. Fueled by the SIGNA™Works productivity platform, the SIGNA™ Architect is a harmonious design of form and function.

Welcome to the future of MR. Forge ahead with SIGNA™ Architect.

With great speed comes great clarity

Speed plays an important role in making research protocols practical for clinical use. In addition to a high performance gradient coil and an industry-leading number of channel counts, SIGNA™ Architect includes three accelerating techniques, HyperBand, HyperSense and HyperCube, which provide astonishing imaging with unsurpassed speed. Used together, these technologies help researchers achieve standard clinical exam times for advanced imaging protocols.

HyperBand

Excites multiple slices during a single acquisition to accelerate scan speed

HyperSense

Experience freedom with AIR Technology

When we set out to build the MR of the future, one thing was certain, we knew we needed to revolutionize the patient-coil experience. Drawing inspiration from the interactions and objects that bring us comfort in our daily lives, we realized that to a patient, the experience of wearing coils is similar to the experience of being covered with a blanket. This realization led us to develop the innovative AIR Technology. A revolutionary, lightweight coil design that comfortably conforms to a patient’s body. It’s also less cumbersome for technologists to position and has the high density channel count radiologists rely on for image quality.

Diffusion imaging has never been so intelligent

As a standard biomarker in oncology, diffusion imaging plays a critical role in cancer detection and staging. However, because certain anatomical regions are prone to large distortions that limit resolution, the current standard for diffusion imaging has its limitations. SIGNA™ Architect uses intelligent quantitative solutions and an advanced diffusion package to automatically detect and correct distortion, artifacts and motion. The result is improved co-registration with anatomical information, improved visualization of structures in difficult-to-image areas and higher resolution without any restrictions. This is achieved without any user intervention, additional scan time or complicated workflow.

Raise your MR performance to new heights with groundbreaking technology

Designed to overcome barriers, SIGNA™ Architect's cutting edge platform makes it one of the most versatile, adaptable and powerful systems available from GE. Now feet-first, whole-body coverage is made easy. Dynamic yet insightful, the SIGNA™ Architect is MR built to work for you.

Total Digital Imaging (TDI)

The SIGNA™ 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.

eMode technology replaces analog blocking circuits with intelligent ultra-fast switches which further expand zero TE imaging capabilities.

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 SIGNA™ 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.
