Siemens continues to demonstrate success in carrying on its heritage of technological innovation with its continual advancement of MRI technologies. In 2004, Siemens introduced the MAGNETOM Espree, the world's first 1.5 Tesla (T) Open Bore MRI. The MAGNETOM Espree provides an expanded 70-cm bore diameter and the shortest magnet length in the industry (125 cm). In 2007, Siemens introduced the MAGNETOM Verio, which is the first system to combine 3T field strength and a 70-cm Open Bore. Also in 2007, Siemens anticipated the market needs for an economical MRI system and introduced the MAGNETOM ESSENZA to the marketplace. The MAGNETOM ESSENZA is the most affordable, all-new MRI system, which also provides reduced installation and operational costs along with the latest technology. All three systems provide the benefits of Siemens exclusive Tim technology, which makes patient and coil repositioning virtually unnecessary for increased workflow.
"Siemens ability to deliver technologies that address today's clinical needs, improve efficiencies and help provide medical care to more patients is the cornerstone of our business," said Jeffrey Bundy, vice president, Magnetic Resonance, Siemens Healthcare. "By focusing on the needs of our customers we are able to anticipate the needs of the market."
