Siemens Magnetom Sonata Overview
The Siemens Magnetom Sonata 1.5T MRI Machine is a perfect clinical applications unit for cardiovascular and neurological research. It delivers clear images via workflow optimized stored sequences that assist in diagnosis and patient throughput.
Sonata has a short, wide-bore that delivers superior patient comfort. It also sports automated post-processing and image analysis, fast gradients for quicker imaging, and the Integrated Panoramic Array coil enables technicians to scan with up to 16 array elements simultaneously, meaning less patient movement and quicker examination times.
Benefits:
- Clinical use: Whole body.
- Cooling method: Single cryogen, 2stage refrigeration.
- Magnet Weight: kg: 4,050; 5,50
- Dimensions: 235 x 215 x 160 cm
- Spectroscopy: SVS or CSIoptional.
- Pulse sequences: GRE, IR, FIR, STIR, TrueIR/FISP, FSE, FLAIR, MT, SS-FSE, MT-SE, MTC, MSE, EPI, 3-D: DESS/CISS/ PSIF, GMR, fat/water sat/exc, others.
Features:
1.5 Tesla Field Strength: Provides high-resolution imaging and excellent soft tissue contrast, ideal for a wide range of clinical applications.
TIM (Total Imaging Matrix) Technology: Enables faster scanning with enhanced image quality by combining integrated coil elements for whole-body imaging.
Short Bore Design: Improves patient comfort by reducing feelings of claustrophobia during scanning.
Advanced Gradient System: High gradient strength (up to 40 mT/m) and slew rate for rapid image acquisition, enabling clearer, more detailed images.
Parallel Imaging Capabilities: Reduces scan times without compromising image quality using techniques like GRAPPA (Generalized Autocalibrating Partially Parallel Acquisitions).
Versatile Clinical Applications: Suited for neuroimaging, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and whole-body imaging, supporting a broad range of diagnostic needs.
Integrated Workflows: Enhanced with Siemens’ intuitive software, offering streamlined workflows for technologists and radiologists.
