Siemens MAGNETOM Avanto 1.5T (2017)

Whole-body oncological staging is the setting the coil architecture was built for, since 205 cm can be acquired continuously without stopping to reposition the patient or change coils.

Peripheral angiography benefits from the same continuous coverage combined with parallel acquisition, so a run-off study completes without separate station set-ups.

Neurological imaging is supported by head and neck matrix coils with AutoAlign positioning slices to a reference anatomy for reproducible follow-up.

Musculoskeletal imaging draws on the dedicated knee, shoulder, wrist, foot and ankle arrays alongside flex and loop coils for smaller or awkward regions.

Body and abdominal imaging uses body and spine matrix elements combined into a single matrix, with respiratory gating available for motion-sensitive sequences.

Cardiac imaging is supported by ECG and peripheral gating with the steady-state and echo-planar sequence families.

Patients who find head-first entry difficult are accommodated by feet-first positioning, which is supported for nearly all procedures on this platform.

Coverage That Does Not Stop at the Coil

Elements integrated along the table and within applied coils are combined into one matrix, so imaging extends to 205 cm without repositioning.

Elements From Separate Coils Used Together

Physically separate coils are combined electronically under system selection, so a region spanning two coils is imaged as one.

76 Elements Through 32 Channels

Up to 76 matrix coil elements are addressed through up to 32 independent RF receiver channels in a single imaging matrix.

Acceleration Without Losing Coverage

Because many elements view the anatomy simultaneously, parallel acquisition runs to high factors while body coverage is maintained.

Reproducible Slice Geometry

AutoAlign positions slices to a reference anatomy, so a follow-up study matches the geometry of the one before it.

Results Produced During Acquisition

syngo Inline processing generates results as images are acquired, so post-processing does not sit as a separate stage afterwards.

Protocols Recalled From Prior Images

Phoenix and PhoenixZIP store and recall protocols from previously acquired images, so a study can be repeated exactly.

Feet-First Positioning as Standard Practice

Nearly all procedures can be performed feet first, which widens the range of patients a department can accommodate.

Wide Resolution Range

Field of view from 5 mm to 500 mm with matrices to 1024 by 1024 supports both small field-of-view detail and whole-body coverage.

A Table Taking 250 kg

Patient support to 250 kg widens the range of patients a department can accept.

This Siemens MAGNETOM Avanto 1.5T was built in 2017, and the case for it rests on where an examination has to stop. Coil coverage has traditionally set that boundary, with anything beyond the applied coil meaning a halt, a repositioned patient, a different coil and a registration problem between what came before and after. Total imaging matrix integrates elements along the table and within the applied coils and combines them electronically into a single matrix, addressing up to 76 elements through up to 32 independent RF receiver channels and extending coverage to 205 cm without moving the patient, so a whole-body study runs as one continuous acquisition. Parallel acquisition builds on the same architecture, running to high factors while coverage is held. Around it sit a 60 cm short bore with feet-first positioning for nearly all procedures, a 250 kg table, fields of view from 5 mm to 500 mm, matrices to 1024, and workflow tools in syngo Inline, AutoAlign and Phoenix that make studies reproducible between operators and visits. Diagnostic interpretation remains with the reporting radiologist. The Tim generation, channel count, coil set and magnet condition are provided by the seller at quotation. Medigear.uk lists the system for UK business buyers and can arrange a siting survey, transport, rigging, installation, staff familiarisation, service cover and the supply of spares and consumables.
