Product Description: The GE 1.0T MRI systems, including models like the Signa Horizon and Signa Profile, are workhorse scanners known for their dependability and versatility. While operating at a lower field strength than 1.5T or 3.0T systems, they are perfectly suited for a vast array of diagnostic applications and are often found at a more affordable price point. These systems feature a permanent or superconducting magnet (e.g., SIII, CXK4) and can be configured with various software packages (e.g., 9X) and gradients (HiSpeed, Echospeed). They provide high-quality images for studies of the brain, spine, and extremities, with many models offering a patient-friendly open design. A refurbished 1.0T system is an excellent investment for clinics or hospitals looking to acquire a capable and reliable MRI scanner without the high capital expenditure of newer, high-field models.
Key Features:
- Field Strength: 1.0 Tesla magnet for reliable and consistent image quality.
- Patient Comfort: Open design in some models (e.g., Signa Profile) and patient-friendly features to reduce claustrophobia.
- Gradients: HiSpeed or Echospeed gradients for efficient scanning.
- Software: Compatible with various software versions (e.g., 9.1X), enabling a range of imaging sequences.
- Magnet Type: Permanent or superconducting, actively shielded magnet.
