MAGNETOM Skyra
Spitzenleistung mit 3T.

Name: MAGNETOM Skyra
Brand: Siemens Healthineers

Weltweit stehen Gesundheitsversorger unter wachsendem Druck, zwei gegensätzliche Ansprüche miteinander zu vereinbaren, nämlich trotz schrumpfender Finanzmittel höchste Versorgungsqualität zu bieten. Die Zahl der MRT-Untersuchungen steigt, weil die MRT immer wieder ihren diagnostischen Wert unter Beweis stellt und sich weitere klinische Einsatzbereiche erschließt¹. Gleichzeitig sinken die Vergütungen weltweit. Das 3T-System MAGNETOM Skyra ist angetreten, um Antworten auf diese Herausforderungen zu liefern.

Siemens - MRI - MAGNETOM Skyra — MAGNETOM Skyra

Eigenschaften & Vorteile

Growing healthcare expenditures and changing patient populations lead to an increased demand for standardization and higher efficiency. With a full range of routine and advanced applications, MAGNETOM Skyra allows you to answer these challenges. Improve your processes through greater standardization and extend your clinical capabilities by offering new services.

Deliver exceptional quality and speed

Make the most of your MRI scanner and improve cost efficiency by accelerating scans for each and every patient. GOBrain enables clinically validated push-button brain examinations in five minutes. This is enabled by Tim 4G's ultra-high coil element density, delivering exceptional quality and speed for efficient processes, day-in and day-out. In addition, CAIPIRINHA reduces the need for rescans through shorter breath hold times.

Go for consistent results, efficiently

Tailor and manage protocols to your specific requirements, improve flexibility, and deliver high-quality care, consistently.² DotGO keeps your processes running on time with intuitive protocol management, user guidance, and smart automation techniques integrated in one user-interface. Leverage powerful DotGO solutions to ensure efficient workflow and consistent image quality – across all patients and operators.

Expand your MRI services

Serve new and growing patient populations with trendsetting applications to differentiate your institute. Overcome the challenges of body MRI with our embrace motion technology FREEZEit and offer free-breathing examinations to those with limited breath hold capacity. Further expand your MRI services with Simultaneous Multi-Slice (SMS), a paradigm shift in MR imaging. With SMS, it is now possible to accelerate 2D exams significantly and perform advanced neurological examinations, previously excluded from routine imaging.

Service and exchange

Siemens Healthineers’ service offerings ensure that you stay at the leading edge of 3T technology throughout the entire MRI lifecycle – from installation, to operation, to upgrades, to ongoing support. Moreover, our active communication platforms and communities – such as MAGNETOM World – keep you up to speed on the world of MRI and enable you to share your ideas and experiences with your peers.

Benefit from fast protocols and quieter exams for uncooperative patients. Accommodate a wide variety of patients while benefiting from a superb SNR for both clinical and research imaging, e.g., with the Head/Neck 64. Your MAGNETOM Skyra's Neuro Suite includes advanced protocols for diffusion imaging, perfusion imaging, and fMRI. The Brain Dot Engine helps increase consistency, also when conditions change during the course of the examination.

Siemens - MAGNETOM Skyra - Image - Orthopedics

The standard Ortho Suite comes with a comprehensive set of protocols for joint imaging, including the spine. Tim 4G’s ultra high-density coils for MSK imaging improve SNR and anatomic coverage. DotGO’s customizable workflows feature AutoAlign and AutoCoverage for knee, hip, shoulder and MPR planning for fast 3D measurements and Inline 3D multiplanar reformatting. WARP⁴ and Advanced WARP⁴, provide susceptibility artifact reduction functionality (such as needed for MR conditional metal implants).

Siemens - MRI - MAGNETOM Skyra - Image - Body MRI

FREEZEit helps overcome motion and incorrect timing to open up new diagnostic possibilities. With the Abdomen Dot Engine, standardized and efficient workflows for the upper abdomen are provided. Additionally, ultra-fast, high-resolution, 2D and 3D protocols are provided for abdomen, pelvis, MR Colonography, MRCP, dynamic kidney, and MR Urography applications.

Siemens - MRI - MAGNETOM Skyra - Image - Breast MRI

A variety of breast coils are enabled by the Tim Coil Interface resulting in flexible breast imaging options to meet the variety of customer needs. From clinical imaging to biopsy guidance, you can count on a wide selection of breast coils and outstanding image quality. Additionally, MAGNETOM Skyra's 70 cm open bore makes it possible to comfortably accommodate more patients. The Breast Dot Engine offers different workflows for optimized image quality and consistency.

Siemens - MRI - MAGNETOM Skyra - Image - Prostate MRI

Prostate MRI utilizes high-channel surface coils, offering a non-invasive and highly accurate technique for the early detection of prostate cancer. The Body 60 coil can be used to reduce scan times by up to 20%³ helping improve your institutions´ process efficiency. With MAGNETOM Skyra you benefit from a comprehensive solution portfolio for certainty in prostate cancer assessment, ranging from coils, scan applications, reading and reporting software, to therapy monitoring tools.

Siemens - MRI - MAGNETOM Skyra - Image - Pediatric MRI

Tissue relaxation times in pediatrics⁵ are very different compared to those of adults. The reasons for these differences are: developing tissues, body size, faster heart rates, and compliance with breathhold commands. With MAGNETOM Skyra, protocols are available to be adapted for imaging infants.
