SIGNA Sprint with Freelium is a high-performance 1.5T wide-bore MRI system from GE HealthCare that combines advanced gradient performance, AI-powered imaging and workflow automation with Freelium sealed-magnet technology. Designed for demanding clinical applications including cardiac, oncology, neurological and musculoskeletal imaging, the system delivers high-quality imaging while significantly reducing helium requirements and infrastructure complexity.

Key Features

• Freelium Technology: Advanced sealed-magnet technology using less than 1% of the helium required by conventional MRI systems, eliminating the need for a traditional quench pipe and enabling more flexible installation.
• 65/200 Gradient Performance: High-performance gradients designed for demanding high-resolution, diffusion and advanced clinical imaging.
• AIR Recon DL: Deep-learning reconstruction technology that improves image sharpness and SNR while helping reduce noise and scan times.
• Sonic DL: Advanced deep-learning acceleration designed to significantly shorten acquisition times, with GE reporting up to 12× acceleration for certain applications.
• SIGNA One: Integrated AI-enabled workflow supporting automated patient positioning, exam setup and streamlined scanning.
• AIR Coils: Lightweight, flexible coils designed for improved patient comfort and efficient anatomical coverage.
• 70 cm Wide Bore: Provides a spacious patient environment and improved accessibility for a wide range of patients.
• Power-Interruption Resilience: Freelium technology provides extended magnet ride-through capability, with GE reporting more than 5 hours during power interruptions.
• Autoramp: Automated magnet management designed to simplify system recovery following certain power interruptions.
