SIEMENS MAGNETOM AERA
Description
Healthcare providers worldwide are under increasing pressure to manage two contradictory forces: delivering highest-quality care with ever decreasing financial means. The number of MRI scans continues to rise, as MRI continues to prove its diagnostic value and expands growing clinical fields. At the same time, global reimbursements continue to fall. MAGNETOM Aera is 1.5T MRI designed to turn these challenges into opportunities.
Features & Benefits
Growing healthcare expenditures and changing patient populations lead to an increased demand for standardization and higher efficiency. With a full range of routine and advanced applications, MAGNETOM Aera allows you to answer these challenges. Improve your processes through greater standardization and extend your clinical capabilities by offering new services.
Deliver exceptional quality and speed
Make the most of your MRI scanner and improve cost efficiency by accelerating scans for each and every patient. enables clinically validated push-button brain examinations in under six minutes. This is enabled by Tim 4G’s ultra-high coil element density, delivering excellent image and achieving up to 40% reduction of scan times1, day-in and day-out. In addition, reduces the need for rescans through shorter breath hold times.
Go for consistent results, efficiently
Tailor and manage protocols to your specific requirements, improve flexibility, and deliver high-quality care, consistently.2
keeps your processes running on time with intuitive protocol management, user guidance, and smart automation techniques integrated in one user-interface. Leverage powerful DotGO solutions to ensure efficient workflow and consistent image quality – across all patients and operators.
Expand your MRI services
Serve new and growing patient populations with trendsetting applications to differentiate your institute. Overcome the challenges of body MRI with our embrace motion technology and offer free-breathing examinations to those with limited breath hold capacity. Further expand your MRI services with (SMS), a paradigm shift in MR imaging. With SMS, it is now possible to accelerate 2D exams significantly and perform advanced neurological examinations, previously excluded from routine imaging.
