MEDARVA IMAGING provides patient comfort with a 70cm wide-bore MRI.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) exams – non-invasive diagnostic imaging exams of soft tissue, bone, and muscle – have become one of the fastest growing types of medical diagnostic tests in the United States. With MEDARVA Imaging's installation of a MAGNETOM Aera 1.5 T MRI System from Siemens Healthcare patients can now experience faster, more comfortable exams.
The addition of this new MRI scanner to MEDARVA Imaging will expand access to diagnostic imaging that supports a complete range of clinical applications, including neurology, orthopedics, body imaging, angiography, cardiology, breast imaging, and oncology.
Benefits of the MAGNETOM Aera 1.5T
The MAGNETOM Aera offers doctors an array of diagnostic possibilities and provides patients with a more comfortable experience.
Like all MRI’s the MAGNETOM Aera uses magnets that are measured in Tesla (T) to acquire images. At 1.5T, the MAGETOM Aera offers superb image quality that may be used for a wide range of medical needs – from orthopedic and sports- related injuries to breast cancer testing – and can help physicians make quicker, more accurate diagnoses.
The MAGNETOM Aera boasts a 70 cm open bore – the tube-like structure of an MRI machine, where the patient lies during the imaging process – and can provide access for obese patients of up to 550 pounds. Additionally, the system’s ultra-short bore (145 cm) can help to alleviate concerns of claustrophobic since many exams can be performed with the patient’s head outside of the bore.
The system is equipped with two exclusive Siemens technologies: Tim™ 4G and Dot (Day optimizing throughput). The combination of Tim and Dot improves the entire MRI workflow and delivers patient-centered care. The results are faster, more comfortable exams for patients.
