GE HealthCare Vietnam has just annouced the implement of the new MRI system, SIGNA Prime at Hong Ngoc Phuc Truong Minh Hospital in Hanoi. The latest in MRI systems applies AI technology and a deep learning-based image reconstruction algorithm that can optimise and simplify imaging diagnostics and increase examination efficiency.

Applying digital end-to-end AI technology, SIGNA Prime can deliver consistent results with an easy-to-use interface augmented with AI tools to reduce complexity and improve consistency. SIGNA Prime also includes AIR Recon DL, the industry’s leading deep learning-based image reconstruction algorithm that works across all anatomies and increases image quality while reducing scan times by up to 50 per cent.

With 'Green from site to scan' as one of its design targets, SIGNA Prime offers more efficient installation, helping to reduce operational costs with an eco-friendly system designed to deliver a 25 per cent lower power rating and up to 70 per cent reduction in helium consumption throughout the lifetime of the system. The wide-bore-ready magnet gives the imaging facility an opportunity to transform the bore size from 60 cm to 70 cm, meaning they can upgrade their system as their business operations grow into the future, without the environmental impact, financial burden, and administrative strain of acquiring an entirely new system.

After testing and several practical applications, Dong Ngoc Duc, deputy director of Hong Ngoc Phuc Truong Minh Hospital, said, "The upgraded technology and high-quality images which SIGNA Prime provides will provide vital support in the diagnosis and treatment process, bringing more benefits to the patient."
