The new Discovery MR750w 3.0T MR system from GE Healthcare has arrived at St. Mary’s Medical Center. This is one of the most advanced GE 3T MRI in Florida and the Southeast United States. It combines a caring design with insightful technology to meet the needs of both clinicians and patients.Features of the Discovery MR750w 3.0T MR system include wide-bore digital technology which improves patient comfort and reduction of exam time. The 500 pound weight limit and 70cm bore is specifically designed to accommodate larger patients with ease. Beyond the widened bore and soft, flexible coils, the table surface has been completely re-designed to help alleviate pressure points for a more relaxing exam. The result for clinicians is a new level of diagnostic performance.
In addition to the Discovery MR750w 3.0T MR system, St. Mary’s Medical Center has also acquired the GE Optima 660 CT Scanner, bringing new CT technology to the hospital that will provide patients with access to one of the most advanced cardiac and neurological capabilities. The GE Optima 660 CT Scanner features ASIR dose-reduction technology by up to 40%, the lowest possible radiation dose on the market.
