New MRI Coils

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 07 Dec 2005
In contrast to conventional coil technology, newly developed magnetic resonance imaging coils utilize RF (radiofrequency) power with great efficiency--overcoming associated safety concerns, reducing scan time, and producing levels of detail that were previously not obtainable.

The coils are available for 3T MRI clinical markets in the United States, Europe, and Asia. More...
Developed by MR Instruments, Inc. (MRII; Minneapolis, MN, USA), the company received CE Mark certification for its TEM single channel, transmit/receive, 15-element tuned array head and extremity coils for 3 Tesla (3T) MRI. MRII markets these coils under the brand name Cheetah Coils.

Cheetah Coils are designed with MR Instruments' proprietary ICE (inductively coupled elements) technology, based on TEM (transverse electromagnetic) patents. In the second quarter of 2005, MR Instruments received its first FDA clearance for the use of Cheetah Coils in GE (Chalfont S. Giles, UK) and Siemens (Erlangen, Germany) 3T MRI systems. Later in the second quarter of 2005, they passed important Siemens corporate conformity testing for the Siemens 3T Trio and Tim systems. MRII anticipates that this significant milestone will expand its relationship with Siemens to support their 3T system requirements.
