One Scan. Six contrasts. Triple Speed. Bringing 3.0T MR to new clinical setting With up to twice higher signal levels, 3.0T MR systems improve spatial resolution and therefore provide more information on very fine anatomical structures, com- pared to 1,5T systems. 3.0T MRIs are com- mon in academic and research hospitals. Now the SIGNA Pioneer brings the power of 3.0T for clinical use and accessibility to a broader range of healthcare providers. The SIGNA Pioneer 3.0T MRI delivers the ease-of-use and flexibility of a 1.5T system, with improved image homogeneity and reproducibility for oncology and spine imaging for example. In addition, ultra-high efficiency gradient technology enables the MR system to maintain a high-end perfor- mance, even during demanding clinical applications such as cardiology or oncology. “In comparison to the 1,5T MR, our image quality for Brain and MSK clinical cases has improved significantly, now we are able to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or resolution or both. We also observe very high cardiac imaging performance with high SNR for perfusion” said Dr. Ahlers, general manager of radiomed. Using equi- valent imaging parameters, physicians are also able to use the signal gain to shorten patients’ breath-holds for liver exploration, and even to complete free-breathing body imaging, offering a much improved patient experience but also image quality in very challenging situations. SIGNATM Pioneer* with MAGiC brings 3.0 T MR to a new clinical setting SIGNA Pioneer, a new 3.0T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system, embodies the exploration and expansion of modern medical imaging and blazes a trail to the future of MRI. Dr. Ahlers, general manager of radiomed, shares his experience with SIGNA Pioneer recently installed at radiomed practice in Wiesbaden, Germany – one of the first installations worldwide. 3,0T MRI Signa Pioneer with extra large tunnel and comfortably lowerable patient table offers a wide range of clinical applications.
