Exceptional Image Quality

The MAGNETOM Concerto is equipped with the high-field components necessary to achieve excellent image quality in very reasonable acquisition times: very strong gradients, a wide selection of advanced sequences and high-field computer performance.

With the MAGNETOM Concerto you will achieve superior image quality for whole body MR imaging in short scan times due to:

Strong gradients

Exellent gradient performance

• gradient strength 20 mT/m (effective 34 mT/m



• slew rate 40 T/m/sec (effective 69 T/m/sec)



• 500 msec rise time to 20 mT/m

High-field computer performance

MAGNETOM Concerto’s computer architecture allows high-field performance

• Simultaneous scan and reconstruction of images (178 recons/sec for 256x256)



• Separation of image calculation from routine tasks for maximum efficiency



• Same computer hardware as MAGNETOM Sonata

Broad sequence selection with high-field applications

Siemens provides optimized sequences and protocols for all regions. Get optimized 3D functionality for highest image quality in short scan times. Use the extensive choice for different applications:

• 3D T1: FLASH, MPRAGE, Water Exitation also useful in post contrast studies



• 3D T2*: 3D CISS, 3D MEDIC, TrueFISP, 3D DESS



• Sequences exclusive to Siemens: CISS, DESS, MPRAGE, TrueFISP and Medic

Superior 3D post-processing

Enjoy the real-time 3D post-processing.

• MPR (Multi Planar Reconstruction)



• MIP (Maximum Intensity Projection) for MR Angiography: Inline MIP, standard deviation and substraction



• SSD (Surface Shaded Display)
