Every millimeter matters when imaging a pediatric liver

This week, we share an image acquired on a SIGNA Architect 3.0T with Snuggle our 24-channel anterior-posterior coil, this 3D scan captures fine liver anatomy in a 9-year-old patient with sharp clarity and full coverage, even in a motion-sensitive setting. At 0.5 mm x 0.5 mm x 3.0 mm voxel size, this is the level of precision adapted coils struggle to achieve.

When the coil is purpose-built for pediatric anatomy, you capture the details that others miss—and you do it faster, with fewer rescans and less compromise.
