Featuring DirectDigital, FlexStream and EasyExpand, dStream is an exciting new MR system architecture that delivers crystal clear images, remarkable speed, and technology that makes RF upgrades a thing of the past.

Philips-exclusive DirectDigital RF samples the MR signal directly in the coil on the patient, and sends it to the reconstructor via fiber-optic cable. The result is up to 40% higher SNR, and a dynamic range that exceeds 185dB.

Designed to streamline workflow and reduce exam time, FlexStream enables imaging with fewer coils and reduce patient set up time, bringing about a throughput increase as much as 30%.

With EasyExpand you never have to upgrade your RF receive channels to keep up with advances in coil technology. It enables plug-and-play expansion of clinical capabilities without major system upgrades and channel conflicts.
