Power-class. Expect more performance.

MAGNETOM Symphony

MAGNETOM Symphony with Power-class:

Our MRI does more to boost your ROI.

It’s already one of the world’s mostin-demand 1.5T MRIs in its class. And now, we’ve packed even morepower into MAGNETOM Symphony™.Introducing Power-class. A potentarray of cutting-edge applicationsthat accelerate performance likenever before. Now you’ll be able tosee the tiniest details with incredibleclarity. Breeze through exams withease. And expand into profitable newareas. MAGNETOM Symphony withPower-class. More power to you.

A powerful argument for being able to do it all.

Imagine. Pristine images in record time for every body region – even withsevere motion. Isotropic head scans.High-resolution breast imaging as a standard feature. And scan timesreduced up to 75%.* It’s all possible with Power-class.

Combining innovative clinical applications with enhanced workflowsimplicity, MAGNETOM Symphony with Power-class enables you to seemore. And do more. Now you’ll easilyimage and diagnose some of the mostdifficult patients – elderly, pediatric,neurological or orthopedic.

syngo® makes MRI simple.

Power-class makes MAGNETOM Symphonyso fast and easy to use, you can getstarted right away. No matter who’s atthe controls. syngo, Siemens’ easy-to-useand intuitive software platform, enablesefficient workflow across modalities with“one-click” simplicity.

The basis for all Power-class applications,syngo lets you expand your capabilities in every field – from women’s health toneurology. syngo can also reduce yourtraining and support requirements to positively impact your bottom line.

*Results may vary. Data on file.

While our wide range of applications isunique, what’s really revolutionary is that many of them come standard withMAGNETOM Symphony with Power-class.

Like our exclusive Integrated PanoramicArray™ (IPA) coil technology that allowsyou to simultaneously scan with a com-bination of up to four coils, for easyhandling and patient set-up that substan-tially reduces exam time.

syngo GRAPPA, also standard with Power-class, offers a technique for ParallelImage acquisition which quickly deliversimages with excellent resolution. In fact,you can scan an L-spine in up to oneminute. And MAGNETOM Symphony withPower-class is the only MRI in its classthat includes high-resolution 3D breastexams with Parallel Imaging as a standardfeature with syngo VIEWS.

syngo SPACE replaces time-consumingmultiple 2D acquisitions with a single 3Dimage, and allows physicians to visualizethe very small lesions.

Expect more performance:

With Power-class, extraordinary comes standard.

Only Siemens offers Integrated PanoramicArray (IPA) for even faster and more com-fortable MRI exams. IPA allows flexiblecombinations of up to four different coils,so you can expand the anatomic range of coverage without coil or patient repo-sitioning. This can save up to five minutesper procedure or patient.

In addition, MAGNETOM Symphony withPower-class comes with lightweight coilsthat are unmatched for patient comfort.Faster exams, faster throughput, greaterpatient comfort. Now that’s powerful.

So advanced, it’s virtually future-proof.

Another unique feature of MAGNETOMSymphony with Power-class is the abilityto upgrade to Tim® (Total imaging matrix)technology whenever you’re ready. Tim is the first seamless, whole body surfacecoil design that combines up to 76 seam-lessly integrated coil elements with up to 32 independent RF channels. With Tim,you can perform the most advancedclinical applications with no coil changesor patient repositioning.

MAGNETOM Symphony with Power-class is the only MRI in itsclass to offer these cutting-edgeclinical applications as standardfeatures: Parallel Imaging withsyngo GRAPPA for fast spineimaging; (T2 TSE, TA 50 s, matrix640); syngo SPACE for accurate 3D imaging with all contrasts; and syngo VIEWS for efficient 3Dbreast scans with Parallel Imaging.

Expect more patient throughput:

New clinical applications to boostreferrals. And revenue.

Go where you could never go before.

With a complete range of clinical appli-cations not available anywhere else,MAGNETOM Symphony with Power-classgives you the ability to serve all kinds of patients, and fulfill any requirementsfrom referring physicians.

syngo BLADE has the unique capability to correct for all motion artifacts in allimaging planes, and for all anatomies.Even in cases of severe movement withdifficult-to-manage patients. This reducesthe need for sedation while increasingthe ability to acquire high resolutionimaging on the first scan.

syngo SWI (Susceptibility WeightedImaging) reveals blood products andvenous structures with great clarity inminutes. This allows physicians to detectthe very small intracranial hemorrhages,and initiate therapies at the earliestpossible time.

syngo GRAPPA is a Parallel Imagingtechnique that delivers robust imagequality and speeds up most exams,including spine imaging for smallchildren or patients with severe backpain.

Expect more ease of use:

Its most powerful feature may be simplicity.

syngo, the highly intuitive Siemens cross-modality user interface, is the basis for all our applications. With syngo, you’ll beable to streamline workflow, speed patientthroughput, and reduce training time.Which translates to better efficiency. And a better bottom line.

With Power-class, speed and ease go hand-in-hand. Along with shorter exams,patients enjoy the open design and thecomfort of lightweight coils. Another bigadvantage of MAGNETOM Symphony is feet-first access for a large variety ofexams. This increases patient comforttremendously.

For seamless workflow at the scanner.

• Expand capabilities with virtually nolearning curve with syngo, our highlyintuitive cross-modality user interface,is the basis for all MAGNETOMSymphony applications. Enabling youto expand your capabilities in everyclinical MR field.

• Keep on working during reconstructionand display images immediately, ratherthan wait for post-processing, usingInline Technology.

• Reproduce slice positioning in thehead. No manual adjustments arerequired. AutoAlign makes it easy tostandardize exams so follow-upsprovide reliable comparisons.

For seamless workflow beyond the scanner.

• Exchange and retrieve entire protocolinformation in an easy drag-and-dropstep. Phoenix makes it easy to accessstandard protocols that make examsmore reproducible.

• Get second opinions and answers toclinical questions while a patient isbeing scanned. Using syngo Expert-i,physicians and experts can remotelyaccess the MR suite from anywhere inthe network.

Siting is simple, too.

The ease and simplicity of MAGNETOMSymphony with Power-class even extendsto its siting requirements. The mostcompact 1.5T in its class, MAGNETOMSymphony with Power-class can typicallybe sited in a 30 m2 or 323 square footspace. And, with only one dual cabinet,which can easily be placed against a wall,it’s even more space-saving. So space not used for the MRI scanner can be usedfor patient prep or waiting areas, whichcan translate to more flexible patientscheduling and faster throughput. Theease of use of MAGNETOM Symphonywith Power-class starts with installationand never stops.
