The Shape Coil can adjust to different body types and configuration needs, and it precisely follows most anatomical contours. The component of the MRI system known as the RF coil is responsible for exciting the aligned spins and receiving an RF signal from the sample.
The “antennae” of the MRI system, radiofrequency coils (RF coils) transmit and/or receive the RF signal from the patient. The body coil is employed as a transmitter when an RF coil is receive-only, but it can also be both transmit and receive (transceiver).
Shape Coil is a flexible and adaptable coil choice that offers new configuration options for various body shapes and challenging anatomy and enhances the patient experience. The Shape Coil’s elasticity allows it to effortlessly wrap around challenging anatomy.
The Global MRI shape coil market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Launch of MRI Coils with Blanket-Like Air Technology by GE Healthcare The new coil design is 60 percent lighter than traditional coils, offers greater flexibility, and adapts to the anatomy of a patient regardless of size or shape.
The U.S. FDA has approved GE Healthcare’s innovative Air Technology, which the company describes as an industry-first collection of radiofrequency (RF) coils that allows complete freedom in coil positioning and handling during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
With more flexibility in all dimensions to assist adjust to patients’ anatomies and fitting all patient ages, sizes, and shapes, the new coil design is 60% lighter than conventional coils, which benefits both patients and technologists.
The signal reception, depth of penetration, and image quality are all enhanced by Air Technology’s use of a flexible conductor material that enables each coil element to be closer to the anatomy.
The technician can position the coil on the patient more easily thanks to its incredibly lightweight and flexible construction. They consider air coil technology to be one of the most significant developments in MR, saying that there are “almost endless possibilities for its use.”
The Air Coils are incredibly pleasant for patient posture, lightweight like a blanket, and adaptable. By reducing coil coupling between elements and enabling arrays with larger element densities and more robust parallel imaging with higher acceleration factors, the special electrical features of Air Technology also address clinical productivity.
