East Texas Medical Center Tyler has added the latest
imaging system to give physicians sharper images and patients a faster exam
time and greater comfort.
The Ingenia 3.0T from Philips Healthcare is the
first-ever digital broadband magnetic resonance imaging system. This
revolutionary machine is designed to quickly perform high-quality MR scans with
a greater level of patient comfort. Ingenia 3.0T can significantly reduce exam
time and has a wide opening to accommodate patients of varying size, age and
physical condition. This makes Ingenia less confining and a more attractive
noninvasive imaging option. In fact, most scans can be performed with the
patient's head entirely out of the opening, creating a better patient
experience.
The Ingenia 3.0T incorporates a number of
breakthrough technologies designed to deliver exceptional image clarity. It
quickly provides radiologists and physicians with precise, detailed MR images
needed to help confidently diagnose many different anatomical and structural
problems in the body—including brain and nervous system disorders,
cardiovascular disease and organ disease.
"Ingenia 3.0T image quality is excellent and it's
fast," said Bill Tobin, director of radiology at ETMC Tyler. "We can perform
American College of Radiology recommended routine exams of the brain, spine,
knee, ankle and liver in less than eight minutes, with superb image quality. It
gives our radiologists and referring physicians access to the high-quality
images they need to make informed diagnoses. With Ingenia 3.0T, our patients
experience fast, comfortable exams and fewer re-scans."
