GenNext NP

GenNext NP™ Pediatric MRI System:

Champaign Imaging is employing advanced design and software to resolve the entire challenge for pediatric neuro MRI scanning*

Our system is designed to:

REDUCE patient agitation and movement in the MRI by reducing the acoustic noise
OPTIMIZE image data capture and enable motion correction – with fewer artifacts and data loss from patient movement
INCREASE FIRST TIME SUCCESS

Additional procedural cost, and the anxiety of having to attempt second or third re-scans (with sedation) BOTH become non-issues with getting meaningful imaging the first time. That’s what GenNext NP technology is focused to achieve. * System in Development. Not for sale. Phase I studies completed and further studies planned in Phase II.

Champaign Imaging has developed three key elements

Specially Designed Head Coil

An ergonomically-designed coil is configured to bring imaging in closer proximity to the patient’s brain. The coil is comprised of a proprietary ultra-low MR background material. A child-friendly housing and comfort features are envisioned to improve the overall experience for the pediatric patient. The coil assembly is built to fit within GE 3T MRI systems.

Quite Sequencing

Precisely attenuated magnetic gradient “ramping” sequences’ programming both reduces the overall volume from the magnetic field changes that cause noise during MRI sessions, AND still provides optimal characteristics for image processing and motion correction for reconstruction.

GenNext NP Imaging Software

Image data is managed independently and features several important capabilities. The software’s motion correction capabilities reduce rescans, enhanced by a set of machine deep learning algorithms, enabling smart extrapolation of collected data points to “complete” the image. This SPEEDS and OPTIMIZES scanning image quality.

GenNext NP technology is designed to fit into many existing MRI suite environments

The GenNext NP Coil unit is compatible to GE Signa™ MR750 and the GE Signa™ 3T MRI Scanners, in wide use at MRI centers world-wide. This allows the GenNext NP Coil to be ready on-site and connected to the GE system when required with minimal effort.

GenNext NP Sequence Programming is deployed via the GE system control interface. GenNext NP uses the quietest sequence known to date; zero echo time (ZTE) and employs multi-band sweep imaging with Fourier transformation (MB-SWIFT) for further acoustic noise reduction. Both ZTE and MB-SWIFT are extremely well-suited for use with the GenNext NP requirements to achieve quieter high quality scan sequences. MR technician tools for use in the interface are familiar, simply utilizing GenNext NP sequence protocols and workflow tools.

GenNext NP Image Processing is performed with a standalone software package dedicated to GenNext NP imaging tasks. The data from the MR scan session is both assessed DURING the session and saved/captured for the GenNext NP “ImageSmart Learning” processing functions of the GenNext NP data and image management work tools.

GenNext NP “ImageSmart Learning” Functions

Intelligent machine learning uses data point comparative extrapolation from image slices of that patient from the same session to effectively “complete” images – with accuracy and real-world diagnostic value.

Session Image Monitoring

Session Image Data Evaluation provides a valuable tool for MRI Technicians. A GREEN/YELLOW/RED visual report with image preview and data display assists session management with a “dashboard” sense of control. The technician can evaluate scanning and determine the need to extend imaging or make adjustments.

Champaign Imaging is focused on the FUTURE of Neuro MRI

GenNext NP sequencing : Eases the scanning experience and reduces sound stimulation that triggers patient movement – simultaneously.
Ultra-low MR background structural design and material: Enables improved signal-to-noise ratio for better images.
GenNext NP “ImageSmart Learning”: Utilizes proprietary processing and data extrapolation to better resolve artifacts in scan data, reducing rescans and saving hospital costs.
Workstation Scan Quality Tool:Provides an intuitive “green-yellow-red” interface with near real-time data assessment to determine status of the scan, image quality, and estimated times to capture sufficient data for useful imaging.
The Result? A quieter, smarter system that significantly mitigates patient anxiety and movement, and the costly need for re-scanning and/or sedation to obtain clinically useful images.
