A 3T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner with a new magnet and system architecture, and many new features, has been showcased.
The scanner is intended to help clinicians personalize imaging scans, reducing the number of rescans, and improving scheduling, and consistency. The high-end clinical imaging scanner is intended for clinical research, and high-end clinical applications, and features high magnet and gradient power, and new 3T clinical capabilities.
The MAGNETOM Vida scanner was developed by Siemens Healthineers, and features Siemens' BioMatrix, GO, Select&GO, and true 3T productivity technologies, and free-breathing, high-resolution cardiac MRI with compressed sensing cardiac cine.
Siemens' GO technologies enable a faster exam workflow, and higher throughput by facilitating workflow optimization. The front of the scanner has BioMatrix Select&GO touch interfaces that enable one-touch patient positioning for multiple regions, as well as an intelligent body model that saves repositioning time, and speeds up adjustments.
The Siemens' Dot workflow helps ensure consistent, high-quality imaging using automation features such as AutoAlign, AutoCoverage and AutoFoV. Inline image reconstructions are automated and use the Recon&GO functionality that allows automatic reconstructions to be carried out in the background. The MAGNETOM Vida also features a new viewing and reading solution called MR View&GO, that enables rapid quality checks and results distribution, following image acquisition and image reconstruction.
