MAGNETOM ESSENZA
Excellent Breast Care Solution
Among women, breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death. In 2010, more than 200,000 women in the United States are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Approximately 40,000 a year die from this disease*.
In March 2007, the American Cancer Society recommended MR as a screening tool for a certain group of women with high genetic risk and examinations showed an annual increase of up to 40% in recent years**.
The excellent diagnostic image quality, easy siting, and affordable price point make
MAGNETOM ESSENZA a superb solution to meet the increased clinical demand for breast MR.
Breast MR Diagnostic Imaging
The MAGNETOM ESSENZA comes standard with syngo® VIEWS, Siemens breast imaging technique. syngo VIEWS is a 3D, simultaneous, near-isotropic breast protocol with high spatial and temporal resolution. Siemens flexible VIEWS technique acquires the images in one plane for complete lesion access. Data can even be reconstructed into mammographic correlating planes such as the CC or MLO.
MAGNETOM ESSENZA comes standard with the following features for comprehensive breast imaging:
- syngo VIEWS – Siemens breast MR technique
- STIR – a water sensitive technique that can aid in staging by visualizing lymph nodes
- SPAIR – a B1-insensitive fat saturation technique
- Tim® – Siemens unique technology that enables unprecedented flexibility, accuracy, and speed
- Implant Imaging – Protocols optimized for both silicone and saline implants
Optional:
- syngo REVEAL – diffusion weighted imaging to assist the physician to improve the specificity of tumor diagnosis
- syngo BLADE - reduces dramatically sensitivity to movement in MR scanning
Breast Matrix Coil for MAGNETOM ESSENZA
- Breast Matrix Coil
Siemens offers the 4-Element Breast Matrix Coil as an option for MAGNETOM ESSENZA, enabling excellent signal-to-noise ratio for high-resolution diagnostic imaging. Equipped with Siemens Tim technology, MAGNETOM ESSENZA is fully capable of both diagnostic breast imaging and whole-body staging, helping increase diagnostic confidence.

- Sentinelle Vanguard for Siemens
Siemens offers an integrated breast imaging and breast biopsy solution as an option for the MAGNETOM ESSENZA. This coil is configurable in a 4-channel coil set-up either for imaging or for lateral biopsy procedures. The 2-channel coil set-up can be used for medial biopsy procedures. The Sentinelle Vanguard for Siemens provides excellent image quality and enables improved interventional accuracy.
