Sequences

Sequences are at the heart of magnetic resonance. At Esaote, designing sequences in-house has always been a priority to ensure the highest quality, right at the root. Discover our SPED, MAR, 3DIsotropic sequences and see how they change MRI.

SPED
BETTER - MORE VERSATILE

SPED

SPED is the Spin Echo fat-water separation sequence based on the Dixon technique generating a contrast similar to a FATSAT type of scan. SPED is therefore a valuable addition to the current range of fat suppression sequences.

Main characteristics:

  • SPED is robust and less prone to artefacts.

  • Morphological information and Fat-Suppression images.

  • Possibility to achieve different contrast, T1 and PD based on the chosen TR.

  • Efficient in presence of metal implants.

MAR
BETTER - MORE VERSATILE

MAR

  • The patient population with metal implants is steadily growing; in the USA an estimated 2,4 % of the population or 7,2 mln patients have a hip or knee implant (data Mayo clinic 2014).
  • MAR uses a sophisticated gradients management system to suppress or reduce in-plane metal distortions for optimal image quality*.
  • MAR improves imaging of post-operative patients.

3D Iso
BETTER - MORE VERSATILE

3D Iso

Small details can make a difference in your diagnosis. 3D HYCE and 3D SHARC sequences based on balanced Steady State Free precession allow the acquisition of large volumes in a short time.

Characteristics:

  • High resolution, up to 0.4mm for each anatomical plane, making it possible to visualise small details.
  • Image the desired anatomy in all three planes with a single sequence.
  • Reduced partial volume artefacts and better definition of nonplanar structures.
  • Quick and flexible post processing with Multi Planar Reconstruction (MPR).
