MAGNETOM Aera is the world's first 1.5 Tesla, 70 cm Open Bore Tim+Dot system. Through the integration of groundbreaking Tim® 4G (Total imaging matrix) and Dot™ (Day optimizing throughput), MAGNETOM Aera sets a new standard of efficiency, ease of use, and care, which will help harness a new level of 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.
MAGNETOM Aera also has low operational costs and is easy to site. There is no need for a large, dedicated computer room, because the all-digital Tim 4G technology is concentrated at the magnet.
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. Additionally, with the new Green Cooling Package (option), customers can decrease their energy consumption for cooling by up to 50%.
Energy consumption during use accounts for over three-quarters of the environmental impact of medical products. Siemens strives to develop new solutions that are more energy efficient than their predecessor models.
