Invivo

Invivo (Booth 3422) is introducing Luminescence, an FDA-cleared breast MRI coil system, specifically designed for sites utilizing 8, 16 and 32 channel MRI systems. The system is an ergonomic modular design with patient positioning accessories, available with both interventional coil and an optional 16-channel diagnostic coil. Invivo’s 16-channel Luminescence breast system delivers high signal-to-noise ratio, isotropic sub-millimeter voxel images, image uniformity and parallel imaging performance. The Luminescence 16 channel technology also optimizes the acquisition of imaging techniques, such as spectroscopy and diffusion.
