3T MRI Scanner Promises Improved Performance and Fewer Rescans

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.
