Benefits:
1.5 Magnet The magnet system of Achieva 1.5T offers high intrinsic homogeneity typically higher than 1.5 ppm- enabling superb fat suppression via techniques such as SPIR and SPAIR. In addition Achieva 1.5T MRI Machines system’s high homogeneity allows raid per- patient dynamic shimming for excellent image quality over the entire 53cm (20.9 in) field of view.
NOVA HP Gradient System Philips offers the Nova High Performance (HP) gradient system, which enables users ideal performance for today’s advanced clinical applications. In combination with FreeWave, Nova HP delivers exceptional sequence performance in terms of minimum TE-TR for angio, cardiac, and EPI applications.
FreeWave Digital RF System Achieva 1.5T is powered by Philips FreeWave, the first entirely direct digital broadband spectrometer. With a scaleable architecture, oustanding SNR performance and unique 3MHz bandwidth per RF channel, FreeWave is prepared to preform emerging clincial techniques that require higher data rates, bandwidth, and resoultion, including Philip’s latest unique methods 4D-TRAK, k-t BLAST, 2D imaging and whole body DWIBS (contained in optional packages).
