Siemens Healthineers showcases new Magnetom Sempra MRI scanner

Siemens Healthineers has unveiled a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner that offers considerable efficiency and cost-effectiveness benefits.

The 1.5 Tesla Magnetom Sempra scanner is designed to help healthcare providers to minimise unnecessary costs while taking advantage of standardised workflows to provide consistent, user-independent quality.

It offers up to a 30 percent reduction in energy consumption, with increased uptime at lower running costs thanks to its embedded service concept. Using this system, MRI examinations can be completed in just ten minutes.

The system is also equipped with Eco-Power technology that monitors and controls the state of the helium used to cool the magnet, thereby reducing its energy consumption by up to 30 percent in standby mode.

Dr Christoph Zindel, senior vice-president of the magnetic resonance business line at Siemens Healthineers, said: "With Magnetom Sempra, we're helping our customers keep pace with the market trend toward standardised healthcare, and to achieve better results at a lower cost of ownership."

Magnetom Sempra was showcased at the recent annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America in Chicago and will begin shipping in the second quarter of 2017.
