MAGNETOM Terra.X - Make the difference. - Siemens Healthineers

From the moment of its first emergence, 7T MRI has been an essential tool for scientists and clinicians to push the boundaries in diagnostic imaging. To harness the full potential of 7T, we have to revisit the principles of MRI. 

MAGNETOM Terra.X introduces the next generation 7T MRI that will enable you to make the difference for the most challenging clinical questions. With its groundbreaking Ultra IQ Technology, MAGNETOM Terra.X will unleash the full potential of 7 Tesla. Based upon the world’s first dynamic parallel transmit architecture, Ultra IQ Technology will deliver unprecedented image clarity that allows you to confidently assess the most subtle pathological details. In combination with the amplifying performance of our AI-powered Deep Resolve, MAGNETOM Terra.X ultimately will take clinical routine to a new level. And to facilitate a seamless translation between your research and the clinical workflow, the integrated Open Recon3 platform allows to implement your custom reconstructions directly on the scanner. MAGNETOM Terra.X will make the difference for clinicians and scientists. pepperl fuchs double sheet sensor

The superb performance at 7T offers the opportunity for new clinical insights. But to leverage the full potential of this inherent advantage, dedicated ultra-high field technologies are required. With Ultra IQ Technology, MAGNETOM Terra.X will introduce an innovative solution that results in unprecedented homogeneity and image quality at 7T. Ultra IQ Technology combines three synergistic innovations throughout the transmit-receive continuum that jointly result in a new level of image clarity. 

The world’s first dynamic parallel transmit architecture will enable unmatched transmit homogeneity at 7T by individually optimizing eight transmission channels to each patient. This revolutionary technology will deliver new clinical benefits through increased homogeneity.

The Patient Performance Model will enable the maximum performance of our Dynamic pTx for every patient. Based on an extensive simulation framework, this model enables a patient specific optimization of the transmit pulses for our Dynamic pTx.

Deep RxE - the deep receive enhancer will use the power of AI to achieve unmatched receive homogeneity. Its deep neural network is trained to address inhomogeneity originating from the receive profile.

With MAGNETOM Terra.X, we introduce our AI-powered image reconstruction Deep Resolve to 7T MRI and make it faster than ever before. 

The combination of 7T field strength and Deep Resolve takes MRI to the next level. Targeted training of Deep Resolve on 7T data will ensure maximum performance and reliability, achieving a previously unheard-of resolution and speed.

The brilliant image quality of MAGNETOM Terra.X will outshine MRI at field strengths below 7T and will enable new insights for challenging clinical questions. The combined power and speed of Ultra IQ Technology and Deep Resolve are game changers in clinical 7T MRI. MAGNETOM Terra.X will enable a common full brain and knee exam with unmatched resolution in less than 15 minutes scan time – giving more patients in need access to 7T MRI.

“We accumulated our experience, and we saw that approximately 20% to 30% of our patients with non-contributive 3 Tesla MRI can have a lesion on the 7 Tesla MRI. And that’s a great help for us to guide our surgical strategies.” 1,2

7T MRI makes a difference 

As part of a clinical study on a 7T MRI, clinicians were able to cure a young woman from epilepsy. Listen to her story.

Our 7 Tesla magnet is a milestone in MR technology, and our gradients are a benchmark in the industry. The powerful and sophisticated hardware in MAGNETOM Terra.X is the basis for the brilliant image quality. 

Unique 7 Tesla magnet and gradient design 

The 7T magnet of MAGNETOM Terra.X is second to none when it comes to robustness and ease of installation. And the industry-leading gradients of 135 mT/m and 250 T/m/s will be a benchmark in 7T MR technology, enabling powerful diffusion and functional MRI, as well as acquisitions with unprecedented low slice thickness.

Multinuclear MR especially benefits from an ultra-high magnetic field. The higher signal at 7T enables insights not accessible at lower field strengths.

Sodium imaging and phosphorus spectroscopy 

Powered by the ultra-high magnetic field strength of MAGNETOM Terra.X, multinuclear MR will add an additional dimension of information to an MR examination. Sodium imaging and phosphorus spectroscopy can deliver insights complementary to the anatomy depicted with hydrogen MRI. The signal from sodium and phosphorus MR opens a window into the physiological processes of the human body.

This comment reflects the customer's experience with MAGNETOM Terra.

The statements by Siemens Healthineers customers described herein are based on results that were achieved in the customer's unique setting. Since there is no "typical" hospital and many variables exist (e.g., hospital size, case mix, level of IT adoption) there can be no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results. This statement is from a person, who or whose institution is engaged in a collaboration with Siemens Healthineers. 

Open Recon is to add clinical reconstructions to the system, if signed and released for clinical use by Siemens Healthineers. Any other recon used, e.g., by researchers is automatically labelled not for diagnostic use, which may require observation of national regulations.
