dStream is a magnetic resonance (MR) system architecture which helps bring signal digitization as close to the patient as possible in the receive coils. The Ingenia system is the first MR powered by this dStream architecture, designed to deliver increased image quality, enhanced workflow and ease of use for greater efficiency in daily operations. At this year's RSNA, Philips will showcase the upgrade program that brings dStream to the installed base.
