About Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used increasingly around the world. Unique features of this powerful technology make this diagnostic tool very useful. The quality of MR equipment is essential.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive radiological diagnostic examination that provides a layered view of the body.
To create an image, a strong magnetic field in which the patient is placed, radiofrequency waves that provide energy, and computers that provide a clear image of organs, soft tissue, bones and joints, and all structures inside the body are used.
Ionizing radiation (such as X-rays) is not used in magnetic resonance imaging.
MR imaging provides better insight into individual parts of the body and changes caused by various diseases than that obtained by other radiological examinations such as X-rays, computed tomography, or ultrasound diagnostics.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging 3 T
MR imaging with Siemens - MAGNETOM Lumina with 3T BioMatrix is the fastest diagnostic MR imaging. MR device of magnetic field strength 3T has twice the magnetic field strength compared to 1.5T MR device and has the following advantages:
- Reduced noise when imaging
- More comfortable space and environment for the patient
- Shorter exam time (shorter stay in the device)
- More precise anatomical representation of organs and tissues
- Reduced need to use contrast media
- Greater possibilities of biochemical cartilage imaging
For a more pleasant patient experience during imaging:
- Large and comfortably designed room with MR device
- Soft pad for the patient to lie down during the imaging
- Less noise in the device when imaging
- Audio instructions for the patient when imaging
Technical characteristics:
- Magnetic field strength - 3 Tesla
- Tunnel diameter – 70 cm
- Length of the device tunnel - 1.86 m
Magnetic Resonance Imaging 1.5 T
The Siemens device - MAGNETOM Avanto Fit Biomatrix is considered one of the most advanced on the market, representing the pinnacle of technological achievements in the field of medical diagnostics. The device contains a field strength of 1.5T and the most powerful SQ engine gradients on the market, and this technology enables a simultaneous current flow of 200 mT/m/s and gradient amplitudes of 45 mT/m, which provides maximum image homogeneity and reliability even in the most challenging clinical conditions. Thanks to the sophisticated myExam Companion software platform, combining deep learning with artificial intelligence, the MAGNETOM Avanto Fit Biomatrix enables extremely high-quality images and fast diagnostic results.
The system is also equipped with a Hi-end computer that controls an impressive 200x48 input/output channels, giving our engineers unique access to personalized previews. This sets new standards in the field of personalized medicine and radiology, providing the possibility of more precise diagnoses even in the most complex clinical scenarios.
With this equipped device, it is possible to answer clinical questions from the world of neurology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, vertebrology and spinal surgery, oncology, pediatrics, endocrinology, internal medicine, vascular and abdominal surgery, and gynecology. All the mentioned branches of medicine today require special sequences, the so-called MARS sequences, for the reduction of artifacts (reduction of disturbances in the image) in the presence of metal implants in the body - the new Avanto Fit Biomatrix has an advanced WARP and CS SEMAC palette of sequences, so that the work is done at the highest possible level.
