At its Shape 22 press conference, Siemens Healthineers (Erlangen, Germany) presented its digital whole-body MRI scanner, Magnetom Free.Star. Like the preceding Magnetom Free.Max, the Magnetom Free.Star achieves its image quality, digitally. The two scanners are based on Siemens’s ‘High-V MRI’ platform, which combines advances in digitisation and artificial...Read more

During magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology’s dawn years, the cost vs the performance gains associated with stronger magnetic fields were open questions. The idea of using low-field MRI (< 1.5 T of magnetic field) is not new, but the performance cost equation favoured larger magnetic fields. For the last 30 years, the MRI standard has been 1.5...Read more
