GE Healthcare has introduced CartiGram, an MR application designed to assess articular cartilage integrity.
An optional application available for GE's Signa MR scanners, CartiGram allows clinicians to noninvasively visualize collagen fiber degradation, according to the Chalfont St. Giles, U.K.-based vendor. It generates color maps based on a scale of T2 values, GE said.
In other GE MR news, the vendor has shipped its 100th Signa HDe 1.5-tesla MR scanner. SSM St. Joseph Hospital West in Lake Saint Louis, MO, received the system, according to GE.
