HyperSpeed Protocols
Enabled with AIR™ Recon DL
By taking advantage
of increased SNR,
AIR™ Recon DL will
allow a reduction in
the number of signal
averages and/or
increasing parallel
imaging factors. This
will reduce acquisition
times without the
concern of producing
noisy images.

HyperSpeed Protocols
allows maintaining the
same voxel dimensions
as a usual routine
protocol at a fraction
of the time while
improving image
sharpness or apparent
spatial resolution.
