GE has delivered the newest console computer and upgraded console software, plus two image processing computers to improve real-time and post-scan processing of anatomic, functional, spectroscopic, and diffusion tensor imaging data.
We are currently utilizing a 48-channel head array provided by GE for use with the SIGNA Premier system.
