MAGNETOM Concerto
performance
Exceptional Image Quality
Head imaging
3D imaging provides diagnostic confidence with thin, contiguous slice coverage and high contrast.
T1 weigthed images
Heavily T1-weigthed studies:
- very short SE for thin slices
- TrueIR
- 3D MPRAGE
- 3D FLASH
- 200% Slice Resolution
T1 SE, 20 slices in < 6 min; Metastases well seen post-contrast
Right image:
T1 True Inversion Recovery:
very good T1 contrast
T2 weigthed images
- Outstanding T2- and T2*-contrast:
SE, TSE, Restore TSE, TrueFISP, and Simultaneous Excitation
T2 TSE Restore, 4:20min, 5mm, 23 Sl

T2 3D TrueFISP tra 3:22min, 2mm, 256 Matrix, 64 Partitions
3D imaging
- 3D imaging provides diagnostic confidence with thin, contiguous slice coverage and high contrast.

T1 3D MPRAGE, 5mm, 23 FoV, 40 part., 6min
HASTE Diffusion with ADC-Maps
- With HASTE sequence for faster image acquisition
- Calculation of ADC maps possible
- Better differentiation in Stroke cases
- Better differentiation in Tumor cases
Right image: B=600
Water Excitation
- Excellent fat suppression techniques:
T1 3D FLASH Water Excitation, T2 TIRM, and T2* with 2D gradient echo
T1 3D FLASH Water Excitation, 4mm, 22 partitions, 5:50min

T2 Dark Fluid, 19 sl, 5mm, only 6min, brain tumor
Inner ear
- Siemens unique 3D CISS
- 3D CISS: T2* with high contrast and resolution
- Shows excellent contrast between CSF and cranial nerves
