GE HealthCare | SIGNA Voyager Premier Edition in Greenland
The SIGNATM Voyager Premier Edition† was the first 1.5T whole-body MRI system to be installed in Greenland in 2024 at the Queen Ingrid Hospital in Nuuk. The system drastically improves patient access to high level diagnostics, and enables a greater variety of clinical capabilities to be performed than before. It is equipped with intelligent magnet technology, deep learning applications and blanket-like coils to fundamentally improve the experience for both patients and clinical staff.
Improving patient access to healthcare
Prior to the installation of the SIGNATM Voyager Premier Edition, travelling 3,500 km for a diagnosis was a reality for many Greenlandic people. Queen Ingrid Hospital’s existing 0.4T Open MR could not perform all examinations, so patients were forced to fly to Denmark for an MR scan. The SIGNATM Voyager Premier Edition enables clinicians to serve patients in their own country.
We can do practically every investigation that you like, that is fantastic!

Workflow and productivity
Cutting scan time by easily 50% and obtaining better image quality at the same time will reduce the waiting list rapidly for the people in Greenland. Deep Learning application for positioning the slices improves the consistency of image quality and together with the versatile blanket-like AIR™ coils it enabled a short learning curve and simply better experience for the technologists and radiologists.
A focus on sustainability
The SIGNATM Voyager Premier Edition’s intelligent magnet technology – which ensures robust operations – and low power consumption were key reasons for selecting this equipment. In remote areas like Greenland, it is crucial to have resilient and robust technology to avoid downtime.
Our technical experts wanted a solution that would not require helium to be shipped annually.
