InkSpace Imaging has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its next-gen Small Body Array for the Siemens Healthineers Magnetom Skyra and Vida series 3T MRI scanners.
The company said the Small Body Array, part of its suite of MR coils, is huggable, lightweight, and flexible. Its body contouring design optimizes signal-to-noise ratio, crucial to detect subtle abnormalities missed by standard rigid coils. The leap in image quality can help bring about faster and more accurate diagnoses in complex cases.
InkSpace Imaging’s coils are up to 80% lighter and offer 10-40% faster throughput, the company said. Scan times can be reduced and the duration patients must remain still can be minimized. A high coil element density can also enhance patient comfort and streamline the imaging process.
Dr. Peter Fischer, CEO of InkSpace Imaging, said, "The FDA clearance of InkSpace Imaging's Small Body Array marks a pivotal moment in MRI technology advancement. Our suite of MR coils is a game-changer, offering total freedom in coil positioning and handling. What's truly impressive is how our thin flexible coil contours to each patient's body, offering comfort while enhancing image quality. It's a win-win for patients and healthcare providers alike."
