Features & Benefits

The MAGNETOM RT Pro edition for the MAGNETOM Aera and MAGNETOM Skyra is designed for the dedicated needs of RT professionals.

Equipped with a set of appropriate positioning support devices and dedicated protocols for RT, the MAGNETOM RT Pro edition helps to support therapy more precisely. Based on the core technologies Tim 4G and Dot, along with a comprehensive application portfolio, the MAGNETOM RT Pro edition is the ideal choice for shared use between radiation oncology and radiology.

And for smooth integration of MR images into your processes, syngo.via RT Image Suite is a dedicated platform for image visualization and multi-modality contouring.

Your Scanner Needs

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.

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.
