PSIR HeartFreezeLate Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) imaging in free-breathing

Today PSIR HeartFreeze1,2 with motion compensation algorithms enables high-resolution LGE imaging in free-breathing. This means you can extend the benefits of Cardiac MRI viability assessment to even more patients, even to those with arrhythmias and those who cannot hold their breath.

Customer experience with PSIR HeartFreeze

For Dr. João Cavalcante PSIR HeartFreeze was a game-changer. In his practice he was able to scan more vulnerable patients and at the same time increase his efficiency.

“Since we started using the PSIR HeartFreeze inline motion compensation application, we have been able to increase the number of CMR scanning slots from seven to nine per day.

PSIR HeartFreeze helps us get high-quality diagnostic CMR images, even in the most challenging and vulnerable group of patients, reducing the overall scan time."5
