Expand opportunities with a larger bore
Bore size should not prevent patients from having an MRI. However, whether it is due to claustrophobia or a larger body, sometimes it does happen. For a more comfortable and less daunting experience, a larger bore size would help. Opening up the bore means that there is better access and new opportunities.

Improve siting flexibility
It is hard to install an MRI scanner in a compact space, and doing it affordably is an even bigger challenge. Traditional MRI scanners are big and bulky and often need extensive infrastructure that normally comprises a quench pipe.
A smaller, lighter MRI system with a helium-independent infrastructure would mean higher flexibility for several institutions. Minimal intensive installation needs would also simplify site selection and open up MRI to a larger pool of people.

Simplify operation to make MRI easier to use
The need for exclusively trained technologists has grown as MRI exams have increased in complexity and popularity. A smarter MRI scanner would allow technologists of any capacity to achieve top-grade images via intuitive and user-friendly interfaces.

Increase the value delivered and make MRI accessible for all
Smaller, roomier, lighter, and easier to operate and install, helium-independent MRIs provide the anticipated clinical outcomes while making MR more accessible.
In the coming months, Siemens Healthineers will demonstrate how the system can also offer value for the providers, patients, and institutions it serves.

High-V MRI – Value beyond barriers
Digitalization is rapidly transforming MR imaging through the application of highly efficient acquisition techniques and deep learning-based reconstruction. High-V MRI takes the power of digitalization and deliberately applies it to a new field strength of 0.55T with inherent clinical benefits.
High-V MRI combines the best of both worlds to offer a new era in MRI that embraces diagnostic confidence in daily routine and new clinical opportunities.
The digital transformation of MRI
Siemens Healthineers is helping to kickstart the digital revolution in MRI practice.
Siemens Healthineers is continuously perfecting its acquisition technologies to attain greater image quality. Currently, with Deep Resolve, the company has introduced deep learning-based reconstruction to improve the quality of results even further.
MAGNETOM Free.Max leverages the complete potential of the digital power of Siemens Healthineers for the best diagnostic quality.
Deep Resolve Gain
Deep Resolve Gain, a constructive technique, utilizes individual quantitative noise maps in the reconstruction process for targeted denoising. It increases image quality to ensure the best diagnostic abilities and is available for a wide range of sequences.

Simultaneous Multi-Slice
Siemen Healthineers’ Simultaneous Multi-Slice TSE is an exclusive approach to accelerate data acquisition in TSE imaging. By getting multiple slices simultaneously, users can save a maximum of 50% scan time, thereby reducing motion artifacts, minimizing patient slot times, and maintaining patients friendliness.

See things like never before
New opportunities arise when traditions are broken. The unique field strength of 0.55T with High-V MRI provides inherent physical advantages that overcome the limitations of today’s MR imaging.
MAGNETOM Free.Max offers exciting new clinical applications that break the barriers of MR physics and expand the reach of MRI.
Improved implant imaging with High-V MRI
The imaging of metal implants has historically been difficult with conventional MRI systems as metal causes artifacts. High-V MRI offers intrinsic physical advantages that result in reduced metal distortions and strongly improved diagnostic capabilities for implant imaging.

Reduced susceptibility challenges with High-V MRI
In MRI, susceptibility artifacts are a familiar phenomenon.
One notable example of such artifacts is at air-tissue interfaces, as they occur at the sinuses and orbits. The unique field strength of High-V MRI offers physical advantages that reduce susceptibility artifacts. This leads to reduced geometric distortions in diffusion imaging which results in improved diagnostic quality.

New opportunities in pulmonary imaging with High-V MRI
Pulmonary imaging has been disreputably challenging with traditional MRI as the air-tissue interfaces lead to fast signal decay. These challenges scale with magnetic field strength which makes High-V MRI the perfect opportunity for pulmonary imaging. Consequently, High-V MRI has the ability to extend the reach of pulmonary MRI.
