Uncompromised 1.5T image quality. Within your reach.

The Brivo MR355 is a world-class 1.5T system that brings great MR value within reachwithout compromising the scanning range and high-field quality the world expects from GE Healthcare. he same proven, highly homogeneous magnet that is used throughout the T GE 1.5T product line, including the Discovery MR450 Uncompromised 8-channel RF and 33/100 gradient performance 8-cm FOV magnet provides a broader view of spines, body images, and 4 vascular exams in a single acquisition Advanced software applications provide high-definition imaging capability pTix RF digital receiver is an exclusive optical RF system that increases O signal clarity and maximizes signal intensity to produce clean, crisp images
New Express Coil helps optimize the scanning experience: Simplifies workflow Streamlines scanning time roximity of coils preserves P signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) educes handling and R positioning of bulky coils between scans

GE Healthcare was the first to introduce 1.5T MR scanners and continues to be a world leader in MR technology. This expertise helps bring to market a value-priced MR system that makes it easier than ever to produce highdefinition images.

The new embedded coil technology used in the Brivo MR355 helps provide consistent, high-quality results and greater technologist confidence: 8-channel coil system for brain, neck, spine, and body exams 12-element posterior array embedded in the patient table Automatic element selection for spine exams

Express Coil design achieves

outstanding coverage and depth of penetration. Coil is positioned directly beneath the cradleminimizing the distance between the patient and the coil elements to maintain high SNR. Enables high-quality spinal cord imaging, even with larger patients.
