3T Vida Fit

The XQ gradients allow high resolution imaging and gradient switching and slew rates on all axes can increase scan speed up to 48%, and allow acquisition of advanced diffusion MRI in the brain. In addition to excellent neuroimaging capabilities, the Vida-Fit also permits a large 55x55x50 cm3 field of view, important for body imaging or off-centre applications.

The larger than normal open bore design and a maximum table weight of 250kg makes this a very patient-friendly platform. CAMRI has a wide range of receiver coils available, suitable for imaging most body regions. The coil elements can be simultaneously connected allowing whole body imaging.

Multiple channels in each coils combined with advanced hardware and software, allow high acceleration of data acquisition. Such techniques help support the m fast imaging applications (e.g. in cardiac or imaging) or when managing patient motion is critical (e.g. paediatrics).

Biomatrix sensor built into the RF detectors on the 3T Vida-Fit have the potential to multiplex key physiological signals and reduce the need for external cardiac (ECG) and respiratory (chest belt) measurements for cardiac and respiratory gating or physiological noise rejection. We currently support Biomatrix beat sensor for cardiac cine imaging, with additional capabilities in development.
