At Siemens Healthineers, we take enormous pride in developing truly innovative technology to produce superconducting magnet solutions of exceptional quality. We are committed to continuously improving our performance. Individually and as a team, we recognise the vital contribution we make in creating medical equipment that transforms healthcare and the lives of people across the globe.
The superconducting magnets produced here are solely for use in MRI systems. We manufacture many different product types with three different field strengths (1.5, 3 and 7 Tesla). The field strength influences the MRI image quality, allows for certain applications and enable speed of image acquisition. The magnet types within the different field strengths address certain market segments, ranging from economy to high-end and patient comfort.
Around 95 per cent of the magnets produced at our Oxfordshire facility are exported, and we have been awarded several Queen’s Awards for export success.
