The top-of-the-line 70 cm Open Bore MAGNETOM Aera 1.5T and MAGNETOM Skyra 3T MRI systems are a sound basis for MR in RT. Gain excellent patient access, a large Field of View and trendsetting imaging applications enabled by the core technologies Tim 4G and Dot.
The optional Tim Dockable Table, which holds up to 250 kg (550 lb), improves your process efficiency by letting you prepare a patient outside the MR exam room. In a shared use model between radiation oncology and radiology, this enables scanning within standard radiological timeslots and gives you the flexibility you need. The Tim 4G Spine coil integrated into the table can stay in place for RT set-ups and provide excellent SNR for brain, head & neck and body (pelvic) exams.
The time is now for MR in RT.
MRI delivers excellent soft-tissue contrast and exact information on tumor extent and functional parameters, adding substantial value to radiotherapy.
From Siemens Healthineers, the MAGNETOM RT Pro edition for the MAGNETOM Aera and MAGNETOM Skyra is a comprehensive hardware and software package that helps advance your institution’s clinical capabilities and therapy outcomes by efficiently integrating an additional modality into existing processes.
Your Scanner Needs
Coils
The MAGNETOM RT Pro edition is equipped with a set of additional Flex coils and a Body coil with an extended cable for more flexible coil positioning. This ensures excellent signal-to-noise ratio for brain, head & neck, and body (pelvic) imaging when immobilization devices are in place. For example, two flexible coils, one body coil with an extended cable and the table-integrated spine coil can be combined for head & neck exams at maximized SNR levels. Compared to a set-up with loop coils, flexible Tim 4G coils provide up to 17%1 more SNR.
Sequences & Applications
A variety of optional imaging applications have been tailored to address some of the main challenges in radiation oncology. Techniques like BLADE, Advanced WARP2, FREEZEit and RESOLVE sequence help maintain geometric integrity of the acquired data and aid you in dealing with typical metallic sources of image artifacts.
RT Dot engine
Designed to enable consistent data acquisition and geometric integrity, the RT Dot engine supports the user in the acquisition of suitable RT planning images to be further processed in external RT applications. It contains features like automatic distortion correction, laser QA and automatic axial image reconstruction.
Post-processing
The syngo.via RT Image Suite is a dedicated RT software solution that enables advanced multi-modality image visualization and contouring. For monitoring and therapy control, syngo.MR OncoCare can visualize functional changes in order to evaluate treatment response.
Meeting the Needs of High-Precision Radiation Therapy
MRI offers excellent soft-tissue contrast without dose, making it ideal for RT purposes where computed tomography (CT) information can be enriched with valuable MR information. The MAGNETOM Aera and MAGNETOM Skyra can meet the needs of high-precision radiation therapy. Excellent image quality and speed are possible with its Tim 4G technology combined with leading applications, and their 70 cm Open Bores can fit a variety of immobilization devices.
