Siemens lumina 3t

The MAGNETOM Lumina is a 3T MRI system from Siemens Healthineers featuring a wide 70 cm open bore and the BioMatrix platform for patient personalization. Designed for high-volume environments, the Lumina incorporates technologies like Select&GO (for landmark-free patient positioning), syngo MR XA software, and Turbo Suite acceleration to streamline exams and reduce scan times by up to 50% without compromising image quality. AI-assisted Deep Resolve reconstruction uses neural networks to speed up imaging while maintaining diagnostic integrity. Workflow automation is further supported by GO technologies, BioMatrix Tuners, and myExam Assist protocols, enabling consistent and reproducible results across multiple scan types and body regions. With the syngo Virtual Cockpit, remote exam support is possible, making the Lumina well-suited for facilities aiming to improve throughput, diagnostic consistency, and overall patient experience.
