Product Description: The GE Discovery MR Series represents a family of premium MRI systems, including the MR450, MR750, and MR750w models, which are available in both 1.5T and 3.0T field strengths. These systems are engineered to deliver exceptional image quality with advanced technologies like OpTix Optical RF Technology, which digitizes signals in the scan room to minimize noise and boost signal-to-noise ratio. The Discovery systems are designed with patient comfort in mind, featuring wide-bore options (e.g., 70 cm on the MR750w), adjustable in-bore lighting, and an intercom system. They are built for high productivity with features like a detachable patient table for faster setup and automated protocols that streamline workflow. The Discovery MR series is a versatile and reliable solution for hospitals and research environments that require high-performance imaging for neurology, cardiology, oncology, and musculoskeletal studies.
