scan times can help to reduce backlogs.

The eXpress Detachable Table accommodates

patients of all sizes and can be set up in a
separate room when patients are waiting for
their scan, making workflow more efficient.

A wider 70 cm bore gives patients more

room and when combined with unique
blanket-like AIR™ Coils, scanning is less

At GE MR, we’re committed to a
greener future and SIGNA™ Hero is
at the forefront of that mission. With
our intelligent magnet technology
which is 1.4x more efficient than
previous generations, the SIGNA™
Hero has 67% lower helium usage.*
Our magnets stay current for
multiple product generations
through the SIGNA™ Continuum™
and SIGNA™ Lift programs, so you’re
investing in the future.

With built-in sleep mode to conserve

energy, and the ability to reduce
power consumption through
reduced scan time of up to 50% –
SIGNA™ Hero is a sustainable
investment.† The system can work
around your current workspace as it
can be installed in typical 1.5T rooms
and upper floors due to the lighter
magnet weight – 3 tons less than
our mainstream 3.0T system.
