Ease of siting with MAGNETOM ESSENZA
- for example: replacing an older MRI

Low set-up costs

MAGNETOM ESSENZA is a powerful and low-cost system that supports the clinical and financial success of its users. In addition to the low initial investment, savings of up to 25% can also be attained on installation costs for space, power requirements and construction. In part this is due to the light-weight 3.5 ton magnet, which even makes it possible to install the MAGNETOM ESSENZA on higher floors. Additionally the system has an ultra-short bore length of 145 cm / 57,1 inches. In fact, the minimum opening required to deliver the magnet is 59 inches long by 90 inches wide and 85 inches high*.

Low power requirements

Once installed, the system is engineered to perform at an optimal operating cost, which could save facilities as much as 50 percent on their Magnetic Resonance (MR) energy bills, compared to older systems. The lower power requirements are achieved thanks, in part, to the reduced electrical load the system requires. Other 1.5T MRI systems may require up to 110 KVA electrical power while the MAGNETOM ESSENZA operates at just 45 KVA.

Zero helium boil-off

The unit’s innovative cooling system also reduces AC load and associated costs. Unlike many other 1.5T systems with stand-alone chillers, much of the MAGNETOM ESSENZA’s chiller is integrated into the system. The advanced design further helps to ensure maximum uptime with a state-of-the-art zero helium boil-off magnet. This makes the entire system easier to site and connect, and saves cooling costs.
