與傳統線圈技術不同，新開發的核磁共振掃描線圈使用效率極高的RF(射頻)能量--克服了對安全性能的關注，減少了掃描時間，對細節所達到額水平是既往所不能達到的。

該線圈在美國、歐洲和亞洲的3T核磁共振臨床檢測市場已經開始供應。MR設備公司(MRII; Minneapolis, MN, USA)開發了這種產品，該公司下列產品獲得了CE標志認證，用于3特斯拉(3T)核磁共振的TEM單通道、發射/接收、15-元素調制隊列頭和超級線圈。MRII使用Cheetah線圈的商標向市場推廣這些線圈。

Cheetah線圈是使用MR設備公司擁有知識產權的ICE(誘導耦連元件)技術來設計開發的，是以TEM (橫向電磁)為基礎的。在2005年的第二季度，MR設備公司首次獲得了FDA對使用GE(Chalfont S. Giles, UK)的Cheetah線圈和Siemens(Erlangen, Germany)3T MRI系統的許可。在2005年度第二季度的晚些時候，他們通過了極其重要的Siemens集團對Siemens 3T Trio和Tim systems系統的統一性檢測。MRII預期這個具有里程碑意義的結果，將會增強與Siemens的關系，從而支持他們的3T系統。
 
New MRI Coils
 
In contrast to conventional coil technology, newly developed magnetic resonance imaging coils utilize RF (radiofrequency) power with great efficiency--overcoming associated safety concerns, reducing scan time, and producing levels of detail that were previously not obtainable.

The coils are available for 3T MRI clinical markets in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Developed by MR Instruments, Inc. (MRII; Minneapolis, MN, USA), the company received CE Mark certification for its TEM single channel, transmit/receive, 15-element tuned array head and extremity coils for 3 Tesla (3T) MRI. MRII markets these coils under the brand name Cheetah Coils.

Cheetah Coils are designed with MR Instruments’ proprietary ICE (inductively coupled elements) technology, based on TEM (transverse electromagnetic) patents. In the second quarter of 2005, MR Instruments received its first FDA clearance for the use of Cheetah Coils in GE (Chalfont S. Giles, UK) and Siemens (Erlangen, Germany) 3T MRI systems. Later in the second quarter of 2005, they passed important Siemens corporate conformity testing for the Siemens 3T Trio and Tim systems. MRII anticipates that this significant milestone will expand its relationship with Siemens to support their 3T system requirements.
