Features & Benefits
Healthcare providers worldwide are striving to improve outcomes for patients and make healthcare systems more efficient. MAGNETOM Amira is specifically designed to help answer these challenges. Now you can extend your clinical capabilities, improve patient experience, and boost process efficiency – at lower costs per scan.
Increase patient comfort with Quiet Suite
It’s challenging to stay competitive in a changing healthcare environment. Today’s patients have more freedom to select their physicians and their satisfaction plays an ever-greater role in securing business. MAGNETOM Amira helps you increase patient comfort – for example, by reducing sound pressure in MRI exams by up to 97%.1
Further solutions to increase patient comfort:
Gain diagnostic value with FREEZEit
Healthcare facilities around the world are looking to extend their clinical capabilities and improve diagnostic results for patients. With the latest syngo software, high-density coils, and enhanced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), MAGNETOM Amira lets you reach more patient groups – for example, with free-breathing exams.
Further solutions to gain diagnostic value:
Streamline operations with 10-min exams
Ensuring consistent and standardized quality of care while remaining competitive is crucial. Changing guidelines and diverse requests from referrers make it difficult to establish standards in MRI. MAGNETOM Amira helps standardize and streamline operations – for example, with best-practice-based protocols enabling 10-min exams in body regions representing 75%2 of exams.
Further solutions to streamline operations:
Save 30% energy with Eco-Power
With expenditure on labor, power, and helium increasing every year and MR reimbursements in decline, optimizing financial performance is a key concern for healthcare operators. MAGNETOM Amira helps you save energy and overall costs – for example, by saving 30% energy3 during standby.
Further solutions to save energy and costs:
Clinical Use
When it comes to clinical capabilities, MAGNETOM Amira provides a comprehensive application portfolio as standard. Its trendsetting innovations are designed to help you achieve better outcomes for patients and meet the increasing demands in clinical healthcare. Combined with Tim 4G and DotGO, this application portfolio brings even the most complex exams into your clinical routine.
Neurology
Experience high resolution and benefit from fast protocols and quieter exams for uncooperative patients. Your MAGNETOM Amira’s Neuro Suite includes advanced protocols for diffusion imaging, perfusion imaging, and fMRI. And the Brain Dot Engine helps increase consistency, even when conditions change during the course of the examination.
Orthopedics
With Ortho Suite comes a comprehensive collection of protocols for joint imaging including the spine. Tim 4G’s ultra high-density coils for MSK imaging improve SNR and anatomic coverage. Dot’s customizable workflows feature AutoAlign and AutoCoverage for knee, hip, and shoulder and MPR planning for fast 3D measurements and Inline 3D multiplanar reformatting. WARP4 offers a comprehensive suite of techniques to provide susceptibility artifact reduction functionality.
Body Imaging
The new certainty in Body MRI: FREEZEit helps you overcome motion and opens up many diagnostic possibilities. With the Abdomen Dot Engine, standardized, efficient, and comprehensive workflows for the upper abdomen with excellent image quality are provided. And with LiverLab you can perform quantitative liver evaluation, non-invasively, on the fly.
Cardiology
The Cardiac Suite covers comprehensive 2D routine cardiac applications, ranging from morphology and ventricular function to tissue characterization. MyoMaps provides an additional layer of valuable diagnostic information about even subtle changes in tissue composition – on the fly. Dot’s on-board guidance helps make cardiac part of your clinical routine. The Cardiac Dot Engine simplifies complete cardiac localization with AutoAlign Heart.
Angiography
With the Angio Suite, excellent MR Angiography can be performed to visualize arteries and veins with or without contrast agent. For scans with contrast media, the Angio Dot Engine helps realize optimized bolus timing at every examination. Real-time graphics and AutoVoice Commands assist the user in organizing the ideal timing of breathing, scanning, and contrast media.
Breast MRI
From clinical imaging to biopsy guidance, MAGNETOM Amira offers a wide selection of breast coils and enables outstanding image quality. Excellent soft tissue differentiation, customized protocols, as well as flexible multiplanar visualization allow for fast, simple, and reproducible evaluation of MRI breast examinations. The Breast Dot Engine offers different workflows for optimized image quality and consistency.
Prostate MRI
With the combination of the high-density spine and body matrix coils alone MAGNETOM Amira enables excellent multiparametric imaging of the prostate in terms of morphology, physiology, and function. Together with dedicated solutions for reading and reporting, the workflow for prostate MRI is comprehensively covered.
Pediatric MRI
Tissue relaxation times in pediatrics4 are very different compared to those of adults. The reasons for these differences are: developing tissues, body size, faster heart rates, and compliance with breathhold commands. With MAGNETOM Amira, protocols are available to be adapted for imaging infants.
Oncology
MAGNETOM Amira’s Onco Suite features a collection of sequences, protocols, and evaluation tools that guide users through the detailed assessment of a variety of oncological conditions. Together with Dot’s on-board guidance, this innovative technology improves patient throughput and provides superb image quality.
