Siemens MAGNETOM Essenza 1.5T (2009)

Product Code: MDIE-MIEQ-2838

Lighting and ventilation at three levels, with the patient in contact throughout.

A scan that cannot be completed has no diagnostic value. This system pairs a short magnet and flared 60 cm opening with lighting and ventilation at three settings, an intercom, a look-out mirror and a supervision monitor. This system was built in 2009 and is listed on Medigear.uk for UK business buyers.

An abandoned examination costs a department the slot, the staff time and the diagnostic answer, and it usually costs the patient a repeat attempt under sedation or a referral to another modality. What happens inside the bore therefore has clinical consequences, not only comfort ones.

This system addresses that at several points. The magnet is 131 cm long with a flared 60 cm opening, and the bore measures 103 cm at its minimum opening, which shortens the distance a patient travels into the tunnel and the time spent fully enclosed. Lighting inside the bore is adjustable across three levels, so the space is lit rather than dark. Ventilation runs at three levels, addressing the still, warm air that patients frequently report as the hardest part of a scan. An intercom keeps voice contact between the patient and the radiographer, a look-out mirror gives a sightline out of the bore, and a supervision monitor allows the patient to be watched continuously from the console.

Those features work alongside the acoustic and positioning arrangements a department already applies, and none of them replaces the preparation and explanation a nervous patient needs. What they do is reduce the number of variables working against a completed examination.

The imaging underneath is a full 1.5 tesla platform. Total imaging matrix combines coil elements into a single imaging matrix, supplied either as 25 elements across 8 independent RF channels or 46 elements across 16, with parallel acquisition available in all directions and head to toe at PAT factors to eight, and coverage extending between regions without repositioning.

The V-engine gradient system is actively shielded and water cooled at both coil and amplifier, delivering 30 mT/m per axis at a slew rate of 100 T/m/s, rising to 52 mT/m and 173 T/m/s by vector summation, and engineered for low eddy currents to support short echo and repetition times.

The magnet is a short-bore actively shielded superconducting design holding homogeneity across a 45 by 45 by 30 cm volume with active shimming through three linear channels and patient-specific shimming per study, running zero helium boil-off technology. Field of view spans 5 cm to 45 cm, minimum slice thickness reaches 0.1 mm in two dimensions and 0.05 mm for a three-dimensional partition, and the table takes up to 200 kg.

Diagnostic interpretation remains with the reporting radiologist, and safety screening and scanning decisions with the operating department under its own MR safety framework. The software release, Tim configuration, coil set, magnet condition and helium history are provided by the seller at quotation, with CE marking documentation, the declaration of conformity, a decontamination certificate and warranty terms issued by the manufacturer or held by the seller.

Anxious and claustrophobic patients are the group the in-bore features speak to most directly, with light, ventilation, voice contact and a sightline out available throughout the examination.

Paediatric imaging is supported by continuous voice contact and supervision, which bears on how many studies can be completed without sedation.

Elderly and frail patients benefit from a short bore length at the minimum opening and from a table taking up to 200 kg.

Neurological imaging runs on head and neck coil elements combined into the imaging matrix, with parallel acquisition shortening the sequences a routine brain study relies on.

Spine imaging draws on integrated matrix elements with coverage extending between regions without repositioning.

Body and abdominal imaging is supported within the 45 by 45 by 30 cm homogeneity volume with patient-specific shimming applied per study.

Musculoskeletal imaging uses dedicated joint and extremity coils according to the set supplied with this system.

A Lit Space Through the Examination

In-bore lighting is adjustable across three levels, so the patient lies in a lit space through the examination.

Air the Patient Can Feel

Ventilation runs at three levels, addressing the still, warm air patients most often describe as the difficult part of a scan.

Voice Contact Maintained

An intercom keeps the patient and radiographer in contact throughout, so reassurance is available at the moment it is needed.

A Sightline Out of the Bore

A look-out mirror gives the patient a view beyond the tunnel while they remain in position.

Continuous Observation From the Console

A patient supervision monitor allows the patient to be watched without interrupting the acquisition.

A Short Distance Into the Tunnel

The bore measures 103 cm at its minimum opening on a 131 cm magnet, with a flared entrance.

A Table Taking 200 kg

Patient support to 200 kg widens the range of patients a department can accept.

Elements Combined Into One Matrix

Total imaging matrix supplies either 25 elements across 8 RF channels or 46 across 16, combined into a single imaging matrix.

Acceleration in Every Direction

Parallel acquisition runs in all directions and head to toe, with PAT factors to eight, which shortens the time a patient spends in the bore.

Gradients Built for Duty Cycle

The V-engine delivers 30 mT/m per axis at 100 T/m/s, water cooled at coil and amplifier and engineered for low eddy currents.

This Siemens MAGNETOM Essenza 1.5T was built in 2009, and the case for it starts with the examination being completed. An abandoned scan costs the slot, the staff time and the diagnostic answer, and usually costs the patient a repeat attempt or a referral elsewhere, so what happens inside the bore carries clinical weight. This system pairs a 131 cm magnet and flared 60 cm opening, measuring 103 cm at the minimum opening, with lighting and ventilation adjustable across three levels, an intercom holding voice contact, a look-out mirror giving a sightline out and a supervision monitor for continuous observation from the console. Parallel acquisition in all directions at PAT factors to eight shortens the time spent there. Underneath sits a full 1.5 tesla platform, with Total imaging matrix supplying either 25 elements across 8 RF channels or 46 across 16, V-engine gradients at 30 mT/m and 100 T/m/s per axis, a 45 by 45 by 30 cm homogeneity volume with patient-specific shimming, and zero helium boil-off. Diagnostic interpretation remains with the reporting radiologist. The software release, Tim configuration, 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.
