MAGNETOM Vida

    Siemens - MRI - 3T MRI Scanners - MAGNETOM Vida - 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. MAGNETOM Vida achieves a new level of performance with a completely new magnet and system architecture to support the clinical, operational, and financial requirements MRI is facing today.

    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 vendors1,2).


    MAGNETOM Vida embraces true 3T productivity and makes push-button examinations become clinical reality. 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.

    Fast, easy and reproducible patient positioning with Select&GO

    BioMatrix Select&GO touch interfaces on the front of the system enable fast and easy patient positioning for multiple regions with one-touch. An intelligent body model will correctly position the region to be examined in the center, which enables also less experienced staff to correctly position the patient even the very first time. This saves time for repositioning and any additional time consuming adjustments.

    Standardized and reproducible image acquisition with DotGO

    An intuitive Dot workflow ensures consistent, high-quality imaging independent of the user and the patient. Using numerous automated steps as e.g., AutoAlign, AutoCoverage, AutoFoV functionalities, there is no need to plan the examination manually. This helps to accelerate the workflow significantly.

    Automated inline reconstructions with Recon&GO

    Recon&GO includes a wide-range of inline functionalities that allow automatic reconstructions in the background and ease following post processing steps. For example: Vertebrae in the sagittal/axial views are automatically labeled with Inline Spine Labeling, multistation exams are composed, and Inline MPRs can be calculated without user interaction.

    High-quality, advanced processing and result distribution with MR View&GO

    MR View&GO is MAGNETOM Vida’s all-in-one viewing and reading solution. After the data have been acquired and reconstructed, MR View&GO enables fast quality checks and distribution of results. Beyond that, MR View&GO offers the additional advantage of being able to perform extended post-processing, directly at the scanner.


    Siemens - MRI - 3T MRI Scanners - MAGNETOM Vida - Embrace new 3T clinical capabilities with Inline Compressed Sensing

    MAGNETOM Vida enables access to patients previously excluded from MR because of their medical condition or the exam’s prohibitively complicated nature. Expand the MR patient population eligible for MRI with free-breathing exams to generate additional revenue.

    Free-breathing, high-resolution cardiac MRI with Compressed Sensing Cardiac Cine

    Compressed Sensing Cardiac Cine, accelerate MR Cardiac Cine imaging by a factor of up to 10, with no loss in image quality. This is made possible by only acquiring a fraction of the image data and generating high-resolution images with iterative reconstruction afterwards – based on our award-winning algorithm for Compressed Sensing. With its extremely fast acquisition, Compressed Sensing Cardiac Cine opens up Cardiac Cine imaging to arrhythmic and dyspneic patients.

    Free-breathing examinations of liver dynamics with Compressed Sensing GRASP-VIBE

    With Compressed Sensing GRASP-VIBE, high-resolution dynamic contrast-enhanced liver imaging can now be performed entirely under free-breathing. This gives patients with limited breath-hold capability access to this imaging technique, which is key to differentiate abdominal lesions. The procedure, which is typically also complex to perform, is now a push-button examination – easy to perform for any user and now accessible to any patient.

    Uso clinico

    To meet the increasing demands in healthcare, MAGNETOM Vida’s broad application portfolio offers versatility to provide excellence in daily clinical practice and to expand the patient population eligible for MRI. The new BioMatrix Technology, building on the strong foundation of Total imaging matrix (Tim), provides high consistency by adapting to individual patient characteristics. New Compressed Sensing applications enable free-breathing contrast-enhanced imaging of the abdomen and free-breathing cardiac imaging.
