The Philips Achieva 3.0T (Tesla - standard MR strength measure) MR scanner is the most compact whole-body 3.0T system available. The system offers complete and innovative applications in neurological, musculoskeletal and abdominal imaging, as well as functional and cardiac studies, contrast-enhanced angiography, and spectroscopic imaging. The clinical benefits of the Philips Achieva 3.0T include spectacular signal-to-noise ratio and image detail, which enable clinicians to see anatomical structures and details that are simply not visible at lower field strengths.

The Philips Panorama 1.0T is the world's first and only open high-field MR with active shielding. Its open design and 160 cm wide patient gap gives patients of all sizes and shapes an unrivaled degree of comfort. Its 1.0T field strength delivers optimal MR image contrast. With a signal-to-noise performance similar to a 1.5T cylindrical magnet (achieved through its unique vertical field design), the Philips Panorama 1.0T combines the delivery of outstanding images with speed and patient comfort.
