Product Description: The GE Signa Excite 1.5T MRI system, available in both 11X and 12X software versions, is a highly popular and reliable scanner in the secondary market. These systems are known for their Excite
technology, which significantly boosts imaging speed and resolution beyond conventional MRI limits. With an 8-channel multicoil scanning capability, they provide a superior signal-to-noise ratio and are ideal for a wide range of clinical applications, including neurovascular, spine, body, and cardiac imaging. The 11X system features an HP xw8000 computer and HiSpeed
gradients, while the 12X version, often part of the Excite HD
line, includes a Linux-based computer and HD
coils for enhanced image quality. A key benefit of these models is their cost-effectiveness and a clear upgrade path to newer platforms, making them a sound investment for facilities looking for performance and long-term value.
