MAGNETOM Vida – the first 3T MRI scanner with BioMatrix Technology – embraces human nature and the unique set of challenges that each patient brings to the MRI exam. By embracing these challenges, we overcome patient variability – ushering in a paradigm shift in MRI. The outcome: fewer rescans, predictable scheduling and consistent, high-quality personalized exams for high-end clinical routine as well as clinical research.
MAGNETOM VidaEmbrace human nature at 3T
Features & Benefits
Gradient power, with up to 60/200, simultaneously with 11,000 hp amplifier power
A new level of gradient power at 70cm – up to 60/200 XT gradients, simultaneously for up to 25% higher SNR1 in diffusion weighted imaging.
Ultra-high density 3T coils
A new generation of ultra-high density coils offers more accuracy, flexibility, and speed. With the new 18-channel UltraFlex coils, for example, cumbersome and long exams of the elbow can be accelerated by a factor of three1 and spatial resolution can be increased at the same time.
Turbo Suite
New Turbo Suite acceleration packages enable up to 50%1 faster clinical routine examinations.
Free-breathing applications with Inline Compressed Sensing (available in Turbo Suite Elite)
Many children, the elderly, or very sick patients may not be able to hold their breath long enough for a liver examination with dynamic contrast enhancement or through an entire cardiac examination. Compressed Sensing heralds a paradigm shift in the clinical practice of cardiac and body imaging.
Expand the MR patient population eligible for MRI with Compressed Sensing GRASP-VIBE for free-breathing liver dynamics for patients with limited or no breath-hold capability and with Compressed Sensing Cardiac Cine for full free-breathing cardiac exams.
BioMatrix dockable table with eDrive assistance and AutoDocking
With the BioMatrix dockable table eDrive support provides motorized assistance so that even the heaviest patient can be effortlessly moved to and from the scanner by every technologist.
BioMatrix Interfaces, touch panels for easy & fast patient positioning
With one-touch on the new Select&GO display, patients can be positioned 30% faster1 with reproducible accuracy, all based on the underlying BioMatrix Body Model. Simply select the region or organ to be scanned for reliable patient positioning with one touch.
BioMatrix Tuners with CoilShim and SliceAdjust technology
In MRI, patient anatomy has specific physical consequences such as the distortion of the field homogeneity, leading to insufficient image quality.
BioMatrix Tuners encompass CoilShim and SliceAdjust technology to adapt to challenging anatomical regions: driving robustness and reproducible high-quality imaging for all patients.
CoilShim technology helps to avoid repeat scans due to significantly improved fat saturation and better DWI quality in the head/neck region.
SliceAdjust delivers excellent DWI quality – avoiding broken spine artefacts and providing excellent correlation to anatomical scans. SliceAdjust also delivers increased fat saturation quality in the entire imaging volume in multi-concat TSE exams.
BioMatrix Sensors – Anticipate motion for high-quality results
Fully integrated in the system architecture, BioMatrix Sensors capture respiratory and cardiac2 motion, which both boosts consistency and frees up the user to select the optimal exam strategy. This combination ensures high-quality results.
Efficient energy management with Eco-Power
Save up to 30% of energy compared to industry average3,4 by intelligently controlling power-consuming components during scan breaks and while in standby mode. This makes MAGNETOM Vida the most energy efficient MRI scanner in its class.
MR Fingerprinting
With MR Fingerprinting (MRF)5, MAGNETOM Vida enables diagnostics at the frontier of a paradigm shift. MRF uses quantitative information from scans for decisions based on digital tissue data, not visual impressions, to improve tissue differentiation and enable less invasive diagnostics.
Embrace full 3T performance with unparalleled magnet and gradient power
3T MRI is synonymous with high-performance clinical MRI. With 3T MRI, the expectation is to push and redefine the limits of what is possible in diagnostic imaging.
An all-new 3T magnet
MAGNETOM Vida comes with an all-new 3T magnet, which provides excellent homogeneity throughout the entire measurement volume and a large Field-of-View of 55 x 55 x 50 cm3. The result: fast examinations with robust and reliable fat saturation throughout the entire imaging volume, which is especially important in abdominal or off-center applications.
A new level of gradient power
With a gradient strength of up to 60/200 simultaneously for up to 25% higher SNR in diffusion weighted imaging, MAGNETOM Vida offers MR research power – but now in a patient-friendly 70 cm setting.
Cost-efficient energy management
An intelligent power management disables power-consuming components during scan breaks – EcoPower shuts off the cold head in standby, resulting in up to 30% energy savings compared to the industry average (COCIR average of MRI vendors3,4).
Embrace true 3T productivity with Turbo Suite and GO Technologies
MAGNETOM Vida embraces true 3T productivity and makes fast scan times and push-button examinations become clinical reality. At the core of its impressive acquisition speed lies our exclusive Turbo Suite: Disruptive acceleration technologies (e.g. Simultaneaous Multi-Slice and Compressed Sensing) shortening the entire examinations for the whole spectrum of clinical MRI, while keeping the quality of exam results.
GO Technologies are a family of solutions that accelerates the entire workflow of the examination: from patient positioning to result distribution.
GO Technologies consist of four main components, each contributing to a specific aspect of workflow optimization to enable higher throughput and robustness in clinical routine.
Embrace new 3T clinical capabilities with Inline Compressed Sensing
With Turbo Suite Elite, MAGNETOM Vida provides access to patients previously excluded from MRI because of their medical condition or the exam’s prohibitively complicated nature. Compressed Sensing Cardiac Cine and Compressed Sensing GRASP-VIBE enable free-breathing exams which help improve the patient experience, while extending your range of services. Significantly simplified procedures with automated workflow strengthen clinical fields with growth potential such as whole-body MRI.
With MR Fingerprinting (MRF)5, MAGNETOM Vida enables diagnostics at the frontier of a paradigm shift. MRF uses quantitative information from scans for decisions based on digital tissue data, not visual impressions, to improve tissue differentiation and enable less invasive diagnostics.

"In our large enterprise inconsistency just kills us. So I´m really impressed with the slice by slice shim for body diffusion, the coil shim for fat suppression, for things like brachial plexus and spine and soft tissue neck. [They] give me the predictability that I need to plan a concise day and be patient centric in our imaging."
The statements by Siemens' customers described herein are based on results that were achieved in the customer's unique setting. Since there is no "typical" hospital and many variables exist (e.g., hospital size, case mix, level of IT adoption) there can be no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results.
