Siemens Healthineers presents duo of new MRI scanners

Siemens Healthineers this week presented its two latest magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tomographs for clinical and scientific use.

The company unveiled its Magnetom Cima.X with 3T field strength and Magnetom Terra.X with 7T at its Siemens Healthineers Shape 23 Keynote.

“Due to their high field strengths and strong gradient performance, both scanners will be optimal for detecting the finest structures in the body more clearly,” said Aruther Kaindl, head of MRI at Siemens Healthineers. “By introducing AI-based algorithms on these high-end scanners for the first time, we reduce the scanning time in MRI by up to 50%, while improving image quality.”

About the 3T Magnetom Cima.X from Siemens

The 3T Magnetom Cima.X uses Siemens’ strongest gradient. It features an amplitude of 200 mT/m and a slew rate of 200 T/m/s. The company said this registers 2.5 times higher than the current strongest MRI from Siemens Healthineers.

According to Siemens, a high gradient helps to better understand neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis. It can visualize so-called microstructures more clearly and play a major role in understanding the diseases, the company said.

About Magnetom Terra.X

Magnetom Terra.X features a field strength of 7T. Siemens Healthineers said this represents the “cutting edge” of commercial MRI. It succeeds the first 7T clinical system — Magnetom Terra — launched by Siemens in 2017.

The system’s higher signal at 7T enables high-resolution imaging for body parts like the head, helping to detect small lesions Even in knee imaging, the system can aid in the decision for or against surgery. Siemens Healthineers designed it with new hardware and software.

Ultra IQ technology significantly increases the capabilities of a 7T system, Siemens said. Magnetom Terra.X can provide clearly visible findings, even along the edge of images, the company added.

A new platform adds efficiency to both MRI scanners

Both scanners offer innovations, including the new Open Recon platform from Siemens.

“Open Recon allows us to run the reconstruction algorithms we have developed directly on the scanner. For the first time, we can transfer our research developments more easily, efficiently, and effectively into clinical routine,” said Prof. Matthias Stuber of the University of Lausanne. In addition, both scanners will offer assistance systems that support scan preparation and the scan itself. Even these complex systems will be easy to operate for every user. The training effort will be minimal, and the scanners can be seamlessly integrated into the fleet.
