Johns Hopkins Bayview at Forefront of Expanding Access to MRI With First Install of Siemens New MAGN...(the strongest magnet field strength used...)

"MRI is increasingly becoming the exam of choice in the U.S., with a 10 percent increase in MRI exams in just the past five years," said Jeffrey Bundy, vice president, Magnetic Resonance, Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. "Siemens' Verio is allowing healthcare providers to meet this escalating demand while, at the same time, making the experience much more comfortable for the patient."

About the MAGNETOM Verio

The Verio, with the power of Tim, has up to 102 seamlessly integrated matrix coil elements and up to 32 independent radiofrequency channels, enabling advanced clinical applications. Tim allows flexible combinations of up to four different coils that make patient and coil repositioning virtually unnecessary.
Standard on the Verio are advanced syngo applications:

-- BLADE, correcting for motion artifacts encountered in neuro, ortho, and

abdominal procedures

-- TWIST, enabling 3D MR angiography for arterial and venous phases

-- SPACE, generating 3D acquisitions for complex head, spine, abdomen,

pelvic, and ortho exams

-- GRAPPA, identifying small renal cysts with shorter breath-holds and

increased throughput
