Clinical Applications
At Siemens Healthineers MR, we are driven to deliver outstanding applications that shift the limits of MRI. The following exclusive features can only be found on our MRI machines and set you apart from competition.
Simultaneous Multi-Slice speeds up imaging through the simultaneous excitation and readout of multiple slices.
It enables scan time reductions or higher spatial resolution imaging.
Benefits of Simultaneous Multi-Slice TSE:
People are becoming more active, leading to rapid growth in sports medicine. Since 2018, there has been a 5% annual increase in the number of distinct patients. In 2022 alone, 3.6 million sports-related injuries were treated in emergency rooms, predominantly involving the upper and lower extremities. MRI is crucial for diagnosing soft tissue damage and guiding treatment after concussions. For serious athletes, tools like cardiac MR might help mitigate life-threatening cardiovascular events.
Our MRI technology offers crucial insights into athlete injuries, providing detailed, radiation-free images of soft tissues, joints, and bones. From basketball's quick-direction changes to hockey's intense collisions, our various coils and comprehensive imaging techniques are relevant for all sports injuries. AI integration and automated workflows ensure fast results, while quantitative assessments enable confident treatment decisions and effective recovery monitoring.
The degenerative joint disease osteoarthritis is characterized by a breakdown of cartilage over time. This leads to pain, loss of mobility, and decreased quality of life in patients.
It is a leading cause of disability globally, over 20% of adults 40+ suffering from osteoarthritis.
Monitoring the state of knee cartilage for these patients is possible but is cumbersome and time intensive.
Chondral Quant takes the complexity out of knee cartilage evaluation and increases efficiency and reproducibility of examinations. Osteoarthritis progression and treatment success can easily be monitored with Chondral Quant. With an early detection of osteoarthritis, therapy options can be adjusted, supporting patients to maintain excellent quality of life.
Chondral Quant is deployed on the OpenApps platform and can be hosted on syngo.via using VB60 and higher.
Siemens Healthineers‘ global MRI community MAGNETOM World offers peer-to-peer information, providing first-hand experiences from MAGNETOM users.
