Patient table height can be lowered to 20-inches, and the patient support enables patients weighing up to 550 pounds. It also has variable lighting, a fresh air supply and a handheld call button.
Patient Enviroment
Achieva is specifically designed to enhance patient comfort and throughput by virtue of a spacious patient aperture that effectively eliminated claustrophobic effects and affords excellent patient access, provided by a combination of ht shortest straight bore length in the industry and widely flaring bore. Achieva systems ultra- compact, patient friendly environment also affords un-compromised large and off set FOV imaging. The high SNR body coil permit large FOV imaging without surface coils reducing set-up time and facilitating easy run-off studies.
Aperture:
- Bore Diameter: 60cm (23.6 in)
- Straight bore length: 60cm
- Bore Flare 110 cm (43 in) on both the front and rear of the magnet, enabling equal access to the patient. Additionally start/stop controls on both ends of the magnet increase operating flexibility.
- Patient support enables patients weighing up to 250 kg (550) to be comfortably positioned.
- Patient table height can be lowered to 52 cm ( 20.4) providing easy access for compromised positioned.
- Detachable tabletop can be combined with optional trolley for efficient patient management and rapid evacuation.
- Horizontal travel of 215 cm (7.05 ft) (1.0 mm) (0.04inch) accuracy
Patient Acessories
- Adjustable fresh air supply and variable lighting
- In-bore microphone and ceiling-mounted loudspeakers support two-way patient- operator communication and music.
- Hand-held technologist call button
- Soft mattress with a headrest, knee support, and positioning wedges
- Patient head set with built-in two-way communication reduces acoustic noise by up to 25 dB.

Specifications
1.5 Magnet
The magnet system of Achieva 1.5T offers high intrinsic homogeneity typically higher than 1.5 ppm- enabling superb fat suppression via techniques such as SPIR and SPAIR. In addition Achieva 1.5T system’s high homogeneity allows raid per- patient dynamic shimming for excellent image quality over the entire 53cm (20.9 in) field of view. The ability to employ large FOV’s facilities run-off studies Willis down to the aortic arch. The Achieva 1.5T system’s excellent homogeneity also affords easy imaging of off-center anatomy. Key Features Include:
- Typical homogeneity of 1.5 ppm VMRS over a 50 cm DSV
- Superconducting screening coils reduce magnetic field susceptibility caused by moving ferrous objects.
- Lightweight 2900 kg (6393 lbs) design and compact fringe field footprint of 3.8m x 7.9ft) facilitate easy siting.
- Typical helium consumption ( as low as 0.03 1/hr) extends time between cryogen refills.
Nova HP Gradient System
Philips offers the Nova High Performance (HP) gradient system, which enables users ideal performance for today’s advanced clinical applications. In combination with FreeWave, Nova HP delivers exceptional sequence performance in terms of minimum TE-TR for angio, cardiac, and EPI applications.
