Siemens launches latest MRI breast scanner

Siemens Medical recently introduced the first MRI scanner Magnetom Espree-Pink breast.

This field is for 1.5T System Siemens in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the latest innovations, with dedicated for breast check solutions. 70 cm large aperture magnets in comparison with the previous system improves check comfort, especially for obese patients and claustrophobia patients, in some cases, it may even make this part of the population to that of the first magnetic resonance imaging examination. Flexible "Sentinelle Vanguard" breast coil system designed for Siemens of Magnetom Espree-Pink design, optimized the clinical workflow. In addition, the syngo Grace or syngo Views, specifically for the application of innovative techniques for breast for women breast health examination establishes new standards.

Breast cancer is Germany and women throughout Europe in the most common form of cancer, the share of nearly 30 per cent.

Germany each year about 57,000 woman suffering from breast cancer; breast cancer deaths every year 17,500 females. United States National Cancer Institute is expected to women in his life the chance of developing breast cancer is one-eighth. United States Cancer Society of new screening guidelines recommend high-risk women each year receive a MRI screening, which will have a direct impact on United States 140 million in high-risk breast cancer. Which a large portion of people will benefit from breast MRI.

Siemens development of Magnetom Espree-Pink dedicated to breast scan, as the use of compact, open design, greatly improving the patients check comfort.

Scanner's magnetic Chamber diameter up to 70 cm, 10 cm large conventional system. In addition, the Magnetom Espree-Pink only length 125 cm, is the shortest of the system. Upon request, patients can take feet first into or head first into the way the scan. In the past was cramped in the MRI and depressed patients, the Magnetom Espree-Pink design has a great advantage. In addition, this scanner is also available for obese patients with sufficient space. Arizona Tucson diagnostic Radiology service provider Limited by Dr. Kim Jae K. pointed out: "in the breast MRI and biopsy procedure, patients are always nervous. Magnetom Espree and Sentinelle system maximum advantage is open. ”

Flexible "Sentinelle Vanguard" coil solution only uses a coil to complete imaging and biopsy.

Upon request, only the lateral insertion of coil is replaced. Rack still scanning platform, without having to relocate. In addition, because the coils with variable geometry (VCG), so you can flexibly adapt to different patients different breast size. In addition, by improving the signal-to-noise ratio and uses 8 RF channel for outstanding image quality.

Siemens Medical magnetic resonance of CEO Walter Märzendorfer pointed out: "this new system is an important component is the ' Sentinelle Vanguard ' breast coil, flexible use this coil can optimize work processes, and customers from the superior image quality, more precise optimization of biopsy, a shorter time and increased throughput in patients with significant benefits.

”

In addition, this new system also has a wealth of breast imaging standard applications and advanced applications.

Including general inspection requirements of Breast Suite with syngo Views (syngo Views breast Kit), such as the use of the kit can be obtained with high spatial resolution and time resolution of Submillimeter-level 3D mammogram. Syngo Grace is suitable for breast check magnetic resonance spectroscopy technique of application packages, you can display this software a biomarker choline and can therefore provide breast lesions biochemical composition of valuable information. Syngo Blade is a even patients in the examination process moving, can ensure that you get no motion artifacts image application.

Magnetom Espree-Pink station incorporates new syngo BreVis and syngo BreVis Biopsy applications for planning and running the image acquisition and biopsy of independent steps in the process.

For example, doctors use syngo BreVis may report, calculation of the lesion size, or the results of the MRI and ultrasound image or breast x-ray contrast figure contrast. Syngo BreVis Biopsy application supports doctors through automatic calculation and preset values, quickly and accurately completed the biopsy.

The new system can be equipped with 18 channels, you can ensure that the investment security.

In need of the time, this breast scanner can upgrade to the full-body MRI scanner — Magnetom Espree.
