Specialty orthopedic MRI developer ONI of Wilmington, MA, will highlight a new coil upgrade for its 1-tesla MSK Extreme scanner.
Called v-SPEC (versatile, spectrometer, and protocol-engineered coils), the product has a spectrometer design that uses host software to dynamically create pulse sequence waveforms and synchronize them precisely, according to the company. The product utilizes six specialized removable transmit-and-receive coils that optimize system performance for peripheral scans.
MSK Extreme with v-SPEC optimizes image contrast and resolution while boosting signal-to-noise ratios by up to 80%, according to the company. ONI launched MSK Extreme in March 2006, and in July marked its 100th shipment of the system.
