Most patients who undergo an MRI scan experience some level of anxiety. As a result, some move so much that they cause motion artifacts, can’t complete the scan, or don’t even show up for the exam. This all results in increased health risks and additional costs. Help patients overcome anxiety by turning MRI into a comfortable, fast, and entertaining experience that is in-sync with modern-day demands. Set up a relaxing atmosphere with calming design elements. Create a comfort zone for patients and ease their anxiety with entertainment and noise reduction. Unique applications can also accelerate the exam and support your staff in delivering fast and fluid scans.

Leading MR acceleration
Shorter scan times can help to improve patient experience as well as staff satisfaction. Smooth workflows reduce stress and increase productivity.
Conventional acceleration
iPAT is the backbone of almost all MR sequences on Siemens Healthineers MRI scanners and allows a significant reduction of scan times. Further acceleration can be achieved with Simultaneous Multi-Slice and Compressed Sensing for selected applications. Find out more about our state-of-the-art solutions here.
Deep Resolve
Shorter scan times enabled by Deep Resolve result in a more comfortable patient experience. For patients in pain, this is a priceless and much appreciated improvement. When the scan time is so significantly reduced, the chances of patient motion are also reduced, thereby potentially reducing the risk of repeated scans.
Free Breathing Exams
Enhanced comfort for vulnerable and non-compliant patients, especially in the depiction of dynamic processes or moving organs. Respiratory triggered or gated exams are available as well as advanced solutions such as CS GRASP-VIBE to enable patients a less stressful scanning experience.

MR scanning has not been established as safe for imaging fetuses and infants under two years of age. The responsible physician must evaluate the benefit of the MRI examination in comparison to other imaging procedures.
