Siemens MAGNETOM Amira 1.5T MRI Review: Practical Performance for Routine Imaging

Siemens MAGNETOM Amira Overview

Siemens 1.5 tesla Amira, MRI system

The Siemens MAGNETOM Amira is a 1.5 Tesla MRI system designed for routine clinical imaging with a focus on efficiency, patient comfort, and cost-effectiveness. Featuring a 60 cm bore and a magnet length of 155 cm, it employs Zero Helium boil-off technology to minimize maintenance requirements. The system utilizes Siemens' Tim 4G coil technology and DotGO workflow automation to enhance image quality and streamline operations. Quiet Suite technology reduces acoustic noise, improving the patient experience. The Amira supports a range of imaging modes, including T1-weighted, T2-weighted, FLAIR, Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI), Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA), and silent imaging sequences. Its compact design requires a minimum room size of approximately 28 m², making it suitable for facilities with space constraints.
