Siemens Healthineers is offering MR Elastography for almost all MAGNETOM scanners. MR Elastography is a non-invasive MRI-based evaluation of tissue stiffness. Furthermore, this represents a new approach of improved treatment decisions, especially in the field of liver fibrosis.

Features & Benefits

Clinical Applications

  • New approach for improved decisions, especially in liver fibrosis
  • Non-invasive assessment of variations in tissue stiffness

Features

  • iPAT enables shortened breath-hold time
  • Fully integrated processing of the elastogram at the scanner
  • Completely automated calculation of wave images and corresponding elastograms
  • Statistical confidence map for reliability

Hardware and software

  • QED SureWaveTM Elastography tower1,2 and gravitational transducer
