Clinical Performance & Diagnostic Power

SIGNA Sprint delivers high-performance imaging for cardiovascular and oncology applications at 1.5T. It features a high gradient performance of 65/200 for crystal-clear imaging and enhanced diagnostic confidence. For oncology, it provides clearer diffusion imaging with reduced distortion and an improved Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). In cardiology, it supports the shift to quantitative MRI, which helps reduce the time and expertise needed for interpretation while offering greater consistency.

Patient Experience & User Workflow

Patient comfort is a central aspect of the SIGNA Sprint design. It features a spacious 70 cm wide bore to ease patient anxiety and claustrophobia. The system uses ultra-lightweight, flexible, blanket-like AIR Coils that contour to the patient’s body for enhanced comfort and coverage. AI-powered solutions like AIR x™ enable automated slice placement, which, combined with accelerated scan times, improves workflow efficiency and reduces the time patients spend in the scanner. For cardiac exams, free-breathing capabilities make the experience simpler and more comfortable, especially for acutely ill patients.

Economic Value & Operational Efficiency

The SIGNA Sprint is designed as a smart, future-ready investment to address modern pressures related to staffing, efficiency, and costs. It is part of GE HealthCare’s Continuum™ upgrade pathway, which provides ongoing software enhancements and ensures the hardware is ready for future upgrades. This allows the MRI system to evolve with a facility’s needs, keeping it at the cutting edge without the high cost and complexity of frequent reinvestment. The integration of AI solutions enhances departmental workflow, increases patient throughput, and provides faster diagnostic clarity.
