East Texas Medical Center Tyler has added the latest imaging
system to give physician's sharper images and patients a faster
exam time and greater comfort.
The Ingenia 3.0T from Philips Healthcare is the first-ever
digital broadband magnetic resonance imaging system. This
revolutionary machine is designed to quickly perform high-quality
MR scans with a greater level of patient comfort. Ingenia 3.0T has
a wider opening to accommodate patients of varying size, age and
physical condition. The larger opening and lighting makes Ingenia
less confining and a more attractive noninvasive imaging option.
The Ingenia 3.0T incorporates a number of breakthrough
technologies designed to deliver exceptional image clarity. It
brings us digital coil technology, only offered by Philips. It
provides radiologists and physicians with precise, detailed MR
images needed to help confidently diagnose many different
anatomical and structural problems in the body-including brain and
nervous system disorders, cardiovascular disease and organ
disease.
"Ingenia 3.0T image quality is excellent and it's fast," said
Bill Tobin, director of radiology at ETMC Tyler. "We can perform
American College of Radiology recommended routine exams of the
brain, spine, knee, ankle, wrists and hands with superb, highly
detailed images. It gives our radiologists and referring
physician's access to the high-quality images they need to make
informed diagnoses. With Ingenia 3.0T, our patients experience
fast, comfortable exams and fewer re-scans."
