Product Descriptions:

The Diamond Select Achieva 1.5T helps you to do more in every way. Fast exams, a wide application range, and superb workflow are just some of the results. Exceptional quality in challenging applications, across all patients. The Philips Achieva 1.5T MRI machine is a high field scanner that has been in production since the early 2000’s. Other variants from the Philips Achieva family include the Philips Achieva 1.5T SE that is targeted toward cost conscious users, and the Philips Achieva 1.5T XR that can be upgraded to a 3.0T without exchanging the magnet. System pricing for the Philips Achieva 1.5T MRI machine is typically between $300,000 to $600,000, with average prices staying within the $450,000 range. Keep in mind that the final price configuration depends on several factors like the number of coils, software levels, channels, gradient type, and more.

Philips Achieva 1.5T MRI Machine Overview, Features and Specifications:
The Philips Achieva 1.5T is an easy-to-use full body MRI machine with a scalable design framework and SmartExam functions for operators and for homogeneous image quality across all types of patients, their positioning, and pathology. It offers a wide application range to assist the technologist including recognizing the anatomy to automatically plan the exam sequences. One of the fastest machines on the market, depending on the number of sequences, the Philips Achieva 1.5T can complete a full spinal and brain scan in less than 60 minutes. Its scalable nature also means that only a couple of software upgrades and hardware changes are needed to increase clinical capabilities.

Features:
Powerful, whole body MRI scanner with intrinsic homogeneity, excellent image quality, and a lightweight design.
Fast, easy-to-use machine can complete a full spinal and brain scan in less than 20 minutes.
Choose the number of channels you need: 8, 16, or 32 channels available.
Proprietary FreeWave TF software is designed to handle large data streams necessary for high resolution imaging with matrices of up to 2k x 2k.
4D-TRAK, k-t BLAST and other acceleration methods also deliver fast scanning.
SmartExam technology provides uniform image quality across patients, technicians, and pathologies.
Synergy RF system handles four quadrature coil channels plus one linear channel.
SENSE technology can be combined with virtually every scan method for educed scan times, higher temporal resolution and enhanced spatial resolution.
