MAGNETOM Cima.X Fit

Make the difference.

Introducing the first 200¹ mT/m at 200 T/m/s commercially available gradients with the highest gradient strength in a whole-body scanner. The whole-body gradient coils will bring significant improvement to diffusion-weighted imaging, enabling the visualization of underlying structures that were previously unseeable. This has potential for furthering the understanding of the composition of voxels, delivering more information that can help to increase the understanding of diseases. 

The driving force of the gradient system will be the gradient power amplifier (GPA). The one-of-a-kind gradient array design in MAGNETOM Cima.X Fit will feature our first Multi-GPA Technology with two separate gradient power amplifiers to deliver the required performance for unmatched gradient amplitude and maximum spatial resolution. And our new direct Liquid Cooling Technology will enable direct thermal contact with the gradient coolant, maximizing thermal energy transfer and dissipation. 

The foundation of MAGNETOM Cima.X Fit will be an exceptional 3T magnet that incorporates the knowledge and experience of Siemens Healthineers’ ultra-high field scanners. Our newest Fit upgrade will deliver excellent homogeneity over a large 55 x 55 x 50 cm³ FOV, with a 2,050 mm scan range, and outstanding long-term stability. A dedicated network of sensors in the magnet, so called frequalizers, allow constant adjustment of the transmit and receive parameters for maximum SNR. 

“The research that we are currently doing with the diffusion MRI in collaboration with our physicists and mathematicians that work with us has shown that for accurately measure the microscopic dimension using diffusion, we need a gradient amplitude of at least 150 millitesla per meter.”²

Deep Resolve is our AI-powered image reconstruction technology that takes advantage of convolutional neural networks to accelerate MRI scans. Deep Resolve’s raw data-to image reconstruction and highly accelerated acquisition times are game changers in MRI, helping generate actionable insights for patients' diagnosis.

Acquisition times in MRI are still a challenge for many vulnerable patients. Simultaneous Multi-Slice helps cut exam times, reduces DWI scan times throughout the body, and significantly improves temporal resolution for BOLD fMRI. Compressed Sensing drastically reduces acquisition times and offers new capabilities for 3D imaging, especially in the depiction of dynamic processes of moving organs. 

Part of the Open MAGNETOM platform, our Open Recon³ inline prototyping will allow custom reconstruction algorithms to be easily run and adjusted, enabling seamless workflows. Open Recon will also enable standardized inline access via ISMRM raw data format for data transfer and sharing standardized algorithms with other institutions.

“Open Recon³ will enable us to have easier, more effective, more efficient international collaborations and we can extend our global network of research partners in the interest of making a difference.” ²
