OVERVIEW
 |
The PICA is our flagship product. Its open architecture, advanced hardware platform and leading-edge clinical applications make it ideally suited for patient comfort, fast acquisition and excellent image quality. With the added benefit of HTS coil technology, the PICA is widely recognized as the most cost-effective high-performance MRI solution on the market.
The PICA's 20-minute MRI exam of the Brain is one example of TIME MEDICAL System's commitment to delivering value, performance and innovation.
MRI INNOVATIONS
Innovation defined: from the Latin innovátus, which means to renew. Innovation, therefore, can be seen as a process that renews something that already exists.
MRI research scientists, engineers and clinical experts have been delivering increasingly innovative MRI solutions for four decades. The library of MRI innovations during that time has had a most profound effect upon the way that radiologists diagnose. Improvements in hardware design and clinical applications have brought MRI scanner technology to an unprecedented level of sensitivity and specificity—enabling earlier detection and more effective treatment of disease. This paradigm of continuous innovation has saved lives, reduced human suffering and minimized the overall cost of delivering healthcare around the world.
High Temperature Superconducting Coils (HTS) mark the first in a series of MR innovations that TIME MEDICAL Systems will bring to the MR industry during the coming years. HTS coils deliver increased signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to MR imaging, primarily through the use of more efficient RF coil materials and improved design methods. Specifically, we've pioneered the use of liquid nitrogen-cooled RF coils made from materials such as YiBaCuO and BiSrTiCaO. As a result, our HTS coils have demonstrated significant SNR gains under routine clinical conditions. Our efforts are now focused on delivering an integrated HTS program featuring a broad range of application-specific HTS coils, including brain, spine, body, knee, and shoulder.
Our PICA with HTS is the first whole-body MRI scanner to utilize HTS coil technology, representing an efficient alternative to costly high-field MRI technology. The PICA with HTS offers myriad benefits: efficient siting, patient comfort, advanced clinical performance, a platform of innovation sustained by HTS and much more.
