Philips Ingenia 1.5T
Family: Philips Ingenia · Modality: MRI
1.5 T workhorse clinical MRI scanner — broad installed base in community hospitals and outpatient centers. Distinguished by Philips' dStream digital coil architecture: digital signal conversion in the coil rather than in the scanner room, reducing analog losses. Shares platform components with the 3 T Ingenia 3T.
Variant-specific considerations
- 1.5 T Ambition X and Ambition S variants use helium-free BlueSeal magnet (7 L helium vs ~1500 L traditional)
- 70 cm bore standard
- dStream digital coil architecture across the family
- Elition 3T sibling not available at 1.5T; 1.5T top-end is Ambition X
