The low-field experts

Siemens Healthineers employees Dr. Stephan Biber and Dr. David Grodzki, together with Prof. Michael Uder, Director of the Institute of Radiology, Uniklinikum Erlangen, Germany, have developed a new, innovative platform for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and integrated it into clinical routine. Magnetom Free.Max and Magnetom Free.Star operate with a low field strength of 0.55 Tesla and enable MRI where it was not possible before. The team was nominated for the German Future Prize for this innovation.
