NM-011 Head Transmit Coil for Siemens Allegra
Siemens Allegra Head Transmit Coil Model NM-011


Features:
  • Head Transmit Coil Designed for Siemens Allegra Scanner


  • Provides up to 800% local SNR increase when used with surface
    coils and phased arrays


  • Splittable design for ease of subject positioning


  • Fully EPI compatible for use in fMRI studies


  • Ergonomic open frame design
Description:
The detuning circuitry on the NM-011A Head Transmit coil allows the use of a wide variety of receive-only surface coils and arrays on the Siemens Allegra 3T MRI scanner. Depending upon the receive-coil used, up to 800% increases in local cortical signal to noise ratio can be achieved dramatically improving image quality of high resolution images and the statistics of functional activation studies. One unique feature of the NM-011 is that it allows Nova Medical SENSE optimized arrays to be used on the Siemens Allegra scanner. The combination of the high performance head gradient set and parallel imaging allows significant improvements in acquisition speed and/or resolution of EPI studies for the ultimate in functional imaging performance.

Provided as a open, splittable design, the NM-011 is fully compatible with the Siemens Allegra patient table. A interior mirror provides a wide field of view for rear projection viewing and the generous inside dimensions of the coil provide adequate room for surface coils and a variety of functional imaging acessories.
