In collaboration with Mayo Clinic, Siemens is offering MR Elastography for almost all MAGNETOM scanner. As a result of this cooperation, a new MRI-based biomarker for characterizing tissue non-invasively is provided. Furthermore this represents a new approach of improved treatment decisions, especially in the field of liver fibrosis. The MR Elastography package includes hardware and software.

Features & Benefits

Clinical Applications

  • New approach for improved decisions, especially in liver fibrosis
  • Non-invasive assessment of variations in tissue stiffness

Features

  • iPAT enables shortened breath-hold time
  • Fully integrated processing of the elastogram at the scanner
  • Completely automated calculation of wave images and corresponding elastograms
  • Statistical confidence map for reliability

Hardware and software1

  • Resoundant® active and passive drivers
  • Sequence and protocols with 2D gradient-echo sequences with cyclic motion-encoding gradients (MEG)
