Quantitative maps can decipher the 10,000 possibilities of changes in the human brain, and GE (General Electric) Medical's latest high-end 3.0T magnetic resonance platform requires only two minutes to obtain a quantitative map of the whole brain. Today, the 3.0T high-end magnetic resonance production line has been settled in Tianjin. Recently, GE Healthcare Tianjin magnetic resonance production base held a celebration to celebrate its high-end 3.0T magnetic resonance production and supply in the global market including China.
According to reports, Tianjin Magnetic Resonance Factory is the only GE Healthcare production base outside the United States that has the production capacity of 3.0T high-end magnetic resonance equipment, and also produces superconducting magnets and magnetic resonance systems. Base for high-end 3.0T magnetic resonance equipment.
Lu Dianfeng, general manager of the magnetic resonance business of GE Healthcare Greater China, told a reporter in China Science News that China has become the world's second largest magnetic resonance market. He believes that driven by factors such as population aging and disease rejuvenation, the Chinese market's demand for high-end magnetic resonance and market development potential are considerable.
Lu Dianfeng said that 3.0T magnetic resonance is the latest and highest-end magnetic resonance platform launched by GE Healthcare in China so far, and equipped with its quantitative map MAGiC technology, it can achieve faster scanning and clearer imaging of various organs throughout the body, helping For early detection of pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer and other malignant tumors.
Lu Dianfeng introduced that 3.0T magnetic resonance has several unique advantages: first, the hardware platform is very good, the large diameter of 70 cm, and the patient is lying flat without any restrictions during the examination, and there is no longer a sense of pressure; second, the current industry The highest channel is "65 channels". Third, it achieves silent scanning under free breathing, and is no longer restricted by breathing.
"The newly designed gradient system and high-channel RF system make the scanning speed can be doubled, and at the same time bring better image quality. In addition, with the industry's first quantitative map MAGiC technology, a single scan only takes 2 and a half minutes, then A quantitative map of the whole brain can be obtained, which can collect changes in the structural level of the lesion and increase the diagnostic confidence of the doctor. "Lu Dianfeng said.
When the reporter visited the production line of the Tianjin factory, the staff introduced more than a hundred items of magnet test content, world-class test system plus process, intelligent simulation use scenarios, cold head assembly visual aid system and other tools, more complete liquid helium purification and recovery technology, Based on the quality analysis of big data, more stringent and standardized production operations, and experienced production operation teams, all of these have achieved the stable mass production of high-end magnetic resonance products in Tianjin base.
"With the further upgrade of the local supply chain, the Tianjin plant will serve as an important part of GE Healthcare's global supply chain strategy, mainly covering the eastern hemisphere region of GE Healthcare's global market, and the United States mainly covering the western hemisphere." Lu Dianfeng said.
