In December 2015, Ceresensa Inc. introduced the first Transparent-PET/MRI, 32 Channels RF Resonator for Simultaneous Cardiac Imaging at 3T. The 32 channels phased array coil is compatible with Siemens Biograph mMR.

The Coil

Model: CDV1

Purpose:

The CDV1 is a 32 channel receive array developed to image the TORSO/Cardiac region and is PET/MRI compatible. It consists of Anterior and Posterior units, 16 channel in each.

Features:

  • 32 independent channels PET compatible.
  • Designed for simultaneous PET/MRI acquisitions.
  • PET acquisitions using CDV1 operates in either modes:
    • Anterior, without μ-map , resulting in less than 2% attenuation of gamma.
    • With μ-map , achieving a near zero gamma attenuation.
  • MRI acquisitions using CDV1 offers two modes of operation:
    • Semi-acquisition, individual Anterior/Posterior.
    • Full-acquisition, both Anterior/Posterior.
  • Optimized for parallel acquisitions with acceleration factors of 2, 3 or 4 in X, Z and 2 in Y.
  • Easy workflow.
  • Comes with PET compatible accessories.
  • μ-map are provided for each coil.
