The 1.5T MAGNETOM Sonata is a system of unparalleled power, perfect as a clinical research system and for cardiovascular and neuroradiological applications. MAGNETOM Sonata gives you everything you need for a state-of-the art exam: crystal-clear image quality supported by previously stored optimized sequences, clinical flexibility, and ease of operation. MAGNETOM Sonata is the fastest MR system in the industry for research and cutting edge clinical applications (such as DTI, PWI, MRS, fMRI, CVMR) - it uses syngo and Inline-Technology. Siemens’s unique Integrated Panoramic Array coil concept allows you to scan with up to 16 array elements simultaneously for improved patient throughput.
Unparalleled gradient power for clinical research MRI; beneficial for dedicated techniques such as cardio vascular and neuroradiological examinations.
In the field of cardiovascular applications a comprehensive cardiac exam can be performed – including morphology, myocardial viability, cardiac function, perfusion, and angiography – in just one examination.
In the important neuro radiological fields of diffusion, perfusion and BOLD imaging, MAGNETOM Sonata's superior performance gives a clear advantage. The system's outstanding gradient technology generates EPI data with high stability and exceptionally short echo spacings. As a result, ghosting and susceptibility artifacts are reduced to an absolute minimum.
The revolutionary Integrated Panoramic Array(IPA) coil concept optimizes the entire patient exam process. The need to position or change coils is virtually eliminated. IPA allows you to simultaneously scan with up to four coils. Moreover, in close to 95% of all studies you do not have to change coils at all.
With Integrated Panoramic Positioning (IPP) you can select coils remotely as well as move the patient table. And to perform multiple exams, you just preprogram a sequence of exam steps.
Increased patient throughput up to 20% per day as compared to non-IPA systems.
Ultra-short 1.6 m (5ft. 3in.) magnet bore length with 60 cm (2ft.) inner diameter and wide, flared 120 cm (4ft.) bore opening improves patient acceptance.
Floating table and attractive, compact design creates a pleasant environment.
Cost-effective siting due to moderate floor space requirements of 30 sqm (320 sq ft).
No computer room required. Water-cooled electronic cabinet optional.
syngo - the comprehensive software solution for all medical imaging tasks and applications - optimizes clinical workflow.
syngo combines the advantages of standardized software with customer-oriented flexible solutions.
The task card concept supports parallel workflow and scan programs enable easy "single click exams".
Utilization Management Service by Siemens will give you the full picture. With comprehensive system specific usage data and benchmark reports.
