Industry mini: Siemens - Breaking barriers in MRI
Information
Speaker: Alistair Piggot, MR Business Manager, Siemens Healthineers
Today more than ever, access to healthcare should be a matter of course. But barriers still exist that limit the reach and quality of care – patient groups that diverge from the norm, infrastructure constraints that limit accessibility, or clinical applications that cannot be offered. For MRI, those barriers may seem prohibitive, but often they are only imposed by conventions. If we dare to question conventions and pursue new avenues, we can break down those barriers and expand the reach of MRI.
MAGNETOM Free.Max breaks barriers to expand the reach of MRI. Where patients have felt discomfort, the world's first 80 cm bore sets a new paradigm in patient comfort. Where infrastructure was an obstacle to MRI, MAGNETOM Free.Max slots into an existing helium-free infrastructure. Where access to MRI was not viable, MAGNETOM Free.Max makes access affordable. And where conventions have limited our thinking, MAGNETOM Free.Max breaks out of conventions to explore new clinical opportunities in MRI.
