Relaxing atmosphere

Calm patients with a relaxing atmosphere

Help patients relax the minute they enter the room with our MoodLight. You can also design a calming theme for your scan room using scanner skins, projections, or wall coverings.

Create a relaxing atmosphere with i-Motions, powered by Comfort Health Solutions. Choose a theme from a library that will be projected on the system cover. Available animations include beautiful nature scenes, pediatric⁵, holiday images, and many more.

Patient comfort

Increase patient comfort

Put your patients at ease and provide additional comfort in the MRI with Quiet Suite, soft and ultra-lightweight coils, and positioning aids.

Contour Coils

Designed for comfort.

Provide your patients with greater comfort while they undergo an MRI exam with Contour Coils. The soft and lightweight Tim 4G coils provide a blanket-like feeling for your patients by flexibly adapting to their body contours. Straps are not needed to hold Contour Coils in place, making positioning fast and easy – and MRI exams less claustrophobic for your patients.

The blanket-like feeling of the Contour Coils enhances the patient experience during the MRI scan.

Contour Coils

Patient infotainment

Ease patient anxiety with infotainment

In the bore, patients can feel claustrophobic and tense, due to the unknown. Educate them before the exam starts using a mini MRI scanner mock-up or MRI models. You can also entertain your patients with in-bore infotainment solutions that redefine the MRI experience.

MR Scan Experience App

The MR Scan Experience App is a great way for patients to find out what it’s like to have an MRI scan. It helps ease their fears by offering a 360° virtual MRI scan with realistic sound. The app also shows all necessary steps from referral to results, and it answers frequently asked questions about the technology and the scan process.

Benefits:

Help patients find out in advance what it’s like to have an MRI scan
Designed for both children⁴and adults
Downloadable for free from iTunes and Google Play Store

nordicComfortPlayer

Address patient stress and anxiety by providing a calming environment with a variety of media content options. Patients can watch a video via an overhead mirror while undergoing the scan.

Benefits:

Patients concentrate on video instead of the scan
Patients tend to stay calmer and don’t move

MAGNETOM Mini Scanner Mock-up

Utilize our MAGNETOM Mini Scanner Mock-up to let patients have a better understanding of what an MRI scan involves. The MAGNETOM Mini Scanner Mock-up comes with a sliding table top that can be manually moved in and out of the bore. The MAGNETOM Mini Scanner Mock-up also features two buttons that, when pressed, will play pre-recorded sounds of three different MRI sequences.

Scanning

Scan patients quickly

Patients who feel uncomfortable during a scan will sometimes move or breathe when they shouldn’t. Scan your patients fast with clinical applications that complete the MRI exam much quicker than conventional methods. Adapt scanning by offering MRI with free-breathing exams for patients who are unable to hold their breath. Provide your staff with our GO technologies, which make scanning fast, more intuitive, and consistent across your scanner fleet.

Compressed Sensing

Beyond speed.

Expand the MR patient population eligible for MRI with free-breathing exams to care for patients previously excluded from MRI. Compressed Sensing can eliminate barriers by accelerating imaging, typically by a factor of 10, helping enable abdominal and cardiac MRI for challenging patients. With Compressed Sensing GRASP-VIBE³ dynamic liver perfusion can now be performed under free breathing, making MRI accessible to patients who are unable to hold their breath. With Compressed Sensing Cardiac Cine, cardiac function evaluation can now be offered to all patients, even those with arrhythmia, providing valuable diagnostic information.

Accelerate your MRI workflow with BioMatrix and GO Technologies

Transform care delivery with BioMatrix and GO technologies for an optimized MRI workflow. From patient preparation to result distribution, these new technologies efficiently streamline your clinical operations by using intuitive and AI-based technologies.

Embrace human nature with BioMatrix Technology

Patients have unique individual characteristics: biovariabilities. Different physiologies and anatomies – as well as the way we interact with them and technology – cause unwanted variations in imaging. BioMatrix technology helps overcome these challenges by embracing human nature. Instead of expecting patients to adjust to the technology, BioMatrix automatically adjusts to the individual patient. Only by embracing human nature can we truly personalize examinations and help expand precision medicine.

Turbo Suite

Setting the pace in MR acceleration
With Turbo Suite, we are committed to help you transform care delivery by significantly shortening entire examinations across for the whole spectrum of clinical MRI. Tailored to your clinical needs, Turbo Suite is comprised of three packages with unique MR acceleration techniques, i.e., CAIPRINHA, Simultaneous Multi-Slice, and Compressed Sensing, which help you accelerate complete exams by up to 50 %.²
