Add a new layer of pixel-based diagnostic information to cardiac diagnoses. Based on HeartFreeze Inline Motion Correction (Siemens unique), MyoMaps provides pixel-based myocardial quantification, on the fly. Now you can better detect global, diffuse, myocardial pathologies (T1 Map). Or better depict cardiac edema (T2 Map) and improve early detection of iron overload (T2* Map1).

  • Designed to evolve visual assessment to pixel based quantification of tissue characteristics.
  • Based on Siemens-unique HeartFreeze Inline Motion Correction.
  • Guide cardiovascular therapy, starting earlier and more efficiently.

Features & Benefits

Siemens takes the industry lead again with MyoMaps. Now, on the sound basis of fully system guided, HeartFreeze Inline Motion Correction, MyoMaps generates pixel-based T1, T2 and T2* colored parametric maps, providing you an additional layer of valuable diagnostic information about even subtle changes in tissue composition, on the fly – for the first time.

HeartFreeze
MyoMaps is based on Siemens-unique HeartFreeze Inline Motion Correction.

Features & Benefits

  • Comprehensive T1, T2, T2* Maps, all in one single application1
  • Based on Siemens-unique HeartFreeze Inline Motion Correction

Clinical Use

MyoMaps1 offers the possibility of acquiring pixel-based quantitative myocardial tissue characteristics. Robustly, efficiently, and on the fly.

MyoMaps has the clinical potential to help you assess myocardial pathologies with new information, such as:

  • Detection of global, diffuse and sometimes subtle myocardial pathologies (T1 Map).
  • Depiction of cardiac edema (T2 Map).
  • Detection of iron overload, guiding cardiovascular therapy - starting earlier and more efficiently (T2* Map).
