MAGNETOM Verio 3T MRI Scanner

MAGNETOM Verio MRI Scanner the Industry's Most Exciting Equation 3T + 70 cm + Tim
Siemens also introduced the MAGNEOTM Verio, the world's first 3T MRI with a 70-cm open bore. Siemens is still the only company to offer open bore technology at 1.5T and now introduces that imaging strength at 3T. This configuration leads to improved patient comfort, better workflow and reduced costs in high-end MR imaging for the diagnosis of challenging diseases.

The Verio represents a complete new class of MRI technology that delivers high-field diagnostic imaging to patients who typically have not had access to MR imaging. Due to the system's 70-cm bore diameter, the average distance between a patient's eyes and the magnet is 30 cm, greatly alleviating concerns of claustrophobia in many patients. In addition, the wider space makes it possible to scan patients who could not be examined with the MRI system in the past, including those suffering from kyphosis (limited mobility) or those who are in pain, as well as pediatric and obese patients up to 550 pounds, those who are dependent on medical devices, those who are in intensive care, and those having to undergo intraoperative procedures.

With a system length of only 173 cm, the MAGNETOM Verio is currently the shortest 3T MRI system on the market worldwide, while having the footprint of a 1.5T MRI system. Furthermore, it is equipped with a light magnet of six tons, compared to other 3T systems. Thanks to the system's smaller dimensions and lower weight, the installation costs for the MAGNETOM Verio are minimized and the system also uses a zero helium boil-off technology.

With Tim technology, coil setup for procedures on the Verio is easy and fast, and acquisition times are significantly reduced. Up to 102 seamlessly integrated matrix coil elements and up to 32 independent radio frequency channels combine to enable advanced clinical applications on the MAGNETOM Verio, which can quickly and reliably allow physicians to evaluate complex pathologies. Even advanced applications can be performed as part of the daily routine, like syngo(R) DTI (Diffusion Tensor Imaging), which provides complete 3D views of neuronal fibers just by pressing a few buttons.

The MAGNETOM Verio is available in a T-class configuration for shorter order-to-report turnaround time and a seamless workflow, and it is available in an I-class configuration that is capable of performing Siemens most advanced applications.
