GE Healthcare Launches Next-Gen Signa MRI Technology to Boost Patient Experience

The system includes the AI-enabled SIGNA One workflow along with deep-learning applications aimed at shortening examination times.

Chicago-based medtech company, GE HealthCare, has announced a new generation of its SIGNA MRI technology, introducing advanced MRI systems designed to enhance diagnostic efficiency, elevate patient comfort, and advance sustainability in medical imaging.

A key system of the lineup includes SIGNA Bolt, a 3.0 T MRI scanner with a next-generation gradient system engineered for precision diagnostics and clinical efficiency.

The system includes the AI-enabled SIGNA One workflow along with deep-learning applications aimed at shortening examination times.

The system also integrates deep-learning–based tools designed to assist in advanced diagnostic assessment, as well as clinical pathway features that cover planning through reporting for neurology and oncology.

In addition, it provides developer toolkits meant to simplify research and application development.

Another system in the portfolio is the SIGNA Sprint (with “Freelium” sealed-magnet design), a 1.5 T wide-bore MRI system focused on minimizing environmental impact while delivering high-quality scans.

The system incorporates a magnet design that uses less than 1% of the helium typically required in conventional MRI units and does not require additional power or cooling systems.

Further, the system, through its ventless configuration, enables installation in varied locations, including hospitals and remote areas where MRI access is limited. The design also provides a level of magnetic field homogeneity intended to support consistent image quality and diagnostic use.

Commenting on the launch of the new lineup, Kelly Londy, President & CEO, MR, GE HealthCare, said, “With the introduction of our advanced SIGNA lineup, we’re delivering on a bold vision for MRI one that intentionally puts smarter technology to work for clinicians and patients alike to make MRI more intuitive, more efficient, and more impactful in everyday care.”

Both systems are built on SIGNA One, an AI-enabled workflow platform that supports every stage of an MRI exam, from planning to scanning and post-processing, and is designed to improve the overall MRI experience for both patients and healthcare providers.
