The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared a new 60-cm, 1.5T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system, that boasts new innovative technologies, low operating costs, and comes with a full-coverage service contract.

The MRI scanner is intended for radiological practices, and small and medium-sized hospitals that operate on a lower budget than large institutions. The system includes standardized workflows than can help facilities realize consistent levels of quality during the operation of the scanner.

The clearance of the MAGNETOM Sempra system was announced by Siemens Healthineers. The system uses Siemens Day optimizing throughput (Dot) workflow engines that enable users to achieve exam standardization, and at the same time adjust to each clinical case, and unique condition of the patient. The system includes Dot engines for workflow automation of spine, brain, and large joint procedures that account for approximately 75% of the average exam volume. The workflow engines are intended to increase productivity, and prevent the need for repeat scans.

Murat Gungor, VP, Magnetic Resonance, Siemens Healthineers North America, said, "Siemens Healthineers is pleased to offer the MAGNETOM Sempra, an MRI system designed to address the needs of radiology practices, smaller hospitals, and other providers in delivering high-quality patient care in a cost-effective manner. As with the other MRI systems in our portfolio, the MAGNETOM Sempra can help providers increase productivity and address profitability while delivering a highly positive patient experience."
