What is an MRI?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging exam that uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of organs, tissues, joints, muscles, and other structures within the body.
MRI exams can help diagnose a wide range of conditions, including:
- Brain and neurological disorders
- Spine and back conditions
- Joint injuries and musculoskeletal concerns
- Sports injuries
- Soft tissue abnormalities
- Certain abdominal and pelvic conditions
- Vascular conditions
MRI does not use ionizing radiation, making it a safe imaging option for many patients.
Advanced Technology: GE SIGNA™ Voyager AIR™ Wide Bore MRI
Girard Medical Center is proud to offer MRI imaging with the GE SIGNA™ Voyager AIR™ Wide Bore MRI System, combining advanced imaging technology with a more comfortable patient experience.
Increased Adaptability
The innovative AIR™ Coil technology offers greater flexibility for patient positioning. Unlike traditional rigid MRI coils, AIR™ Coils can conform more naturally to the body, allowing for improved positioning and a more personalized exam experience.
Improved Patient Comfort
AIR™ Coils are softer, lighter, and more flexible than conventional MRI coils, helping patients feel more comfortable throughout their exam.
Faster Throughput
Easy positioning and streamlined workflows help improve efficiency and reduce overall scan times, creating a better experience for both patients and staff.
Clinical Excellence
The flexible design of AIR™ Coils allows them to be positioned closer to the patient, providing greater coverage and helping produce high-quality diagnostic images.
Revolutionary Deep Learning Technology
Our system features AIR™ Recon DL, an advanced deep-learning image reconstruction technology designed to enhance image quality while improving efficiency.
Benefits include:
- Sharper images with improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
- Image sharpening improvements of up to 60%
- Faster scan times—up to 50% faster in certain applications
- Improved productivity and patient experience
Empowering Every Patient
The AIR™ technology works seamlessly across a wide range of anatomical imaging applications, helping deliver consistent, high-quality results for patients of all ages and body types.
Wide Bore MRI: Designed with Patients in Mind
The GE SIGNA™ Voyager AIR™ features a wide-bore design that provides a more spacious environment than traditional MRI systems.
Benefits of a wide bore MRI include:
- Increased comfort during the exam
