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.
