Biograph mMR brings a revolution in diagnostic imaging to life. For the first time, state-of-the-art 3T MRI and cutting-edge molecular imaging are fully integrated as one. Only Siemens makes the simultaneous acquisition of whole-body MR and PET possible. Molecular MR supports our joint vision for healthcare - to advance disease management and improve care for all patients.
MR and PET in a single scanner mean one exam, one room, and one whole-body solution for optimized productivity. The increased productivity enables higher patient throughput and optimized workflow, ultimately increasing the number of examinations that can be done with one system and thereby, increasing the energy efficiency. With Biograph mMR, there's no need for patients to schedule multiple visits, reducing the environmental effects of extra transportation.
Siting of one system instead of two also requires a smaller installation space, allowing the Biograph mMR to have a small footprint with one room and one cooling system. Due to the Zero Helium boil-off technology, the system does not use any helium during normal operation, so this expensive and scarce resource does not need regular refill intervals. With Biograph mMR, radiation dose is low for all patients, especially pediatric. Radiation exposure is also reduced for the technologist.
