Siemens MAGNETOM Sempra 1.5T MRI: Cost-Efficient Imaging for Everyday Practice

SIEMENS Sempra, 1.5 tesla

The MAGNETOM Sempra is Siemens Healthineers’ compact, budget-conscious 1.5 Tesla MRI system designed for routine imaging efficiency. With a standard 60 cm bore and zero helium boil-off magnet, it offers stable performance while minimizing operational costs. The system supports up to 96 RF channels and can utilize 8 or 16 independent receiver channels per scan, providing adequate flexibility for core exams such as neuro, spine, and musculoskeletal studies — which often account for the majority of daily imaging volume. Workflow automation is supported by Siemens’ DotGO platform and AutoAlign technology, which helps ensure consistent scan results across varying patient anatomies and technician experience levels. Patient comfort features include optional Quiet Suite and lightweight TIM 4G coils, while Eco-Power technology reduces energy use during scan breaks. The Sempra has a relatively small installation footprint and requires less than 25 m² of space, making it a good fit for imaging centers with constrained build-out capacity.

âś… Technical Specs Snapshot

  • Field Strength: 1.5 Tesla

  • Bore Size: 60 cm (standard bore)

  • RF Channels (Max): 96

  • Independent Channels per Scan: 8 or 16

  • Gradient Shimming: Passive and active

  • Helium Usage: Zero Helium boil-off technology

  • Power Saving: Eco-Power system

  • System Length: 171 cm (5.61 ft)

  • System Weight: 4.55 tons (approx. 10,035 lbs)

  • Minimum Room Size: 28 m² (302 sq ft)

Compared to Siemens’ flagship 3T models like the MAGNETOM Vida, the MAGNETOM Sempra occupies a more streamlined role focused on day-to-day reliability and cost-efficiency. It lacks the advanced gradient power, AI-assisted reconstruction, and BioMatrix personalization features found in higher-end systems, but excels in delivering stable, reproducible results for high-volume exam types like brain, spine, and joint studies. While the Vida is built to push diagnostic boundaries and handle complex research or high-performance clinical work, the Sempra is designed for consistency, ease of use, and minimal overhead — making it an ideal solution for outpatient imaging centers, diagnostic hubs, or facilities operating under tighter space or budget constraints.
