The U.S. FDA has cleared the Magnetom Lumina 3 Tesla (3T) MRI scanner from Malvern, Pa.-based Siemens Healthineers. This scanner features BioMatrix patient personalization technology, which improves productivity while ensuring quality, Siemens officials say.
Moreover, the system has a wide, 70-cm bore and GO technologies powered by artificial intelligence (AI), which accelerate the entire MRI workflow. For example, a whole spine exam can be performed up to 20% faster compared to a conventional system. Tim 4G and Dot (Day Optimizing Throughput) engines support standardized, reproducible scan procedures. To further facilitate workflow efficiency, the system features an optional dockable table.
Additionally, new Turbo Suite acceleration packages can further reduce scan time on routine musculoskeletal (MSK) examinations of various parts of the body by up to 50%. The Magnetom Lumina will also offer the optional Innovision in-bore infotainment system, which is designed to move with the scanner table to not only create the illusion of an enlarged bore, but also to provide a video experience with strong sound quality.
“With the Magnetom Lumina, Siemens Healthineers is transforming care delivery by providing high performance with a strong return on investment,” says Jane Kilkenny, vice president of MR at Siemens Healthineers North America. “The patient experience is enhanced with a state-of-the-art infotainment system, lightweight and flexible coils, and new speed applications that enable the provider to get the patient on and off the table faster.”
Are any of the Magnetom lumina 3t machines in south Florida?
