Siemens Healthcare, a leading supplier to the healthcare industry, is currently showcasing its latest imaging and therapy portfolio – from a digital mobile X-ray system with interchangeable detectors to a new 1.5-tesla MRI scanner with reduced operating costs, at the on-going Arab Health 2015 in Dubai, UAE.

Siemens’ product portfolio supports healthcare providers around the globe to face the challenges of a transforming healthcare system.

The innovations presented in Dubai, UAE, put equal emphasis on helping to improve patient outcome and to reduce costs, the company said.

Siemens Healthcare has expanded its portfolio of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems to include the 1.5-tesla scanner Magnetom Amira1.

The new MRI scanner offers the same technologies that are available on the Siemens flagship MRI systems. Magnetom Amira also stands out against other scanners on account of its lower operating costs, one reason is the new Eco-Power technology that enables power savings of up to 30 per cent in standby mode compared to when the feature is not activated.

By combining high image quality with comparatively low costs per scan, Magnetom Amira meets the requirements of radiology practices, small and medium-sized hospitals and larger facilities that are looking for a system to complement their existing devices.

The digital mobile X-ray system Mobilett Mira Max2 has been developed for both versatile everyday use and for demanding clinical situations, where rapid image availability and high image quality are vital.

Mobile X-ray systems are being used in a range of applications – from broken legs to lung examinations, from newborns to trauma patients. Advantages of mobile systems are that there is no need to transport the patient and examinations can be performed even in quite small spaces. The important factors here are intuitive operation and very high image quality.

The new mobile X-ray system Mobilett Mira Max features Siemens’ MAX (Multiple Advances in X-ray) functionality, defining functions that support users in their everyday work (MAX assistance) and have a positive effect on image quality (MAX detection).

With the new version of the Somatom Definition Edge, Siemens has created the basis for establishing the dual energy procedure in clinical routine. The innovative X-ray tube concept in the new CT scanner enables simultaneous imaging at two different energy levels for the first time in single source computed tomography.

At Arab Health 2015 Siemens Healthcare also presents two new clinical applications for angiography. Syngo Dyna4D will now, for the first time, enable time-resolved 3D imaging in angiography, making it possible to visualise not only the three-dimensional volume of the vessels but also the flow behaviour of blood. Syngo DynaCT Smart removes metal artifacts and allows the physician to e.g. detect bleedings close to metallic objects.

The Symbia Evo Excel SPECT5 system is a new version of the proven Symbia E. Symbia Evo Excel combines industry-leading SPECT image resolution and detector sensitivity with the smallest room size requirement in its class6.

The new version of Siemens’ premium cardiovascular ultrasound imaging system Acuson SC2000 Prime edition now features live volume 3D transesophageal echo (TEE) imaging. The new release for cardiovascular imaging is the first to offer live full-volume colour Doppler imaging of heart valve anatomy and blood-flow using the new Z6Ms true volume TEE probe.

With this technology, physicians can obtain a more anatomically accurate view of the heart and dynamic blood flow in one view during interventional valve procedures, even in patients with ECG abnormalities, it added. – TradeArabia News Service
