Siemens MAGNETOM Espree 1.5T MRI

The Siemens Espree 1.5T MRI is one of the most popular MRI systems
on the market, with features offering exceptional patient comfort,
superior high-quality images, and seamless clinical workflow.
It was also the first wide-bore MRI scanner.
The Espree 1.5T can perform advanced clinical applications
and comes equipped with the Tim Technology (Total Imaging Matrix)
that delivers high quality imaging and reduced exam times.

The Espree 1.5T scanner includes an ultrashort 170cm and wide open 70cm bore.
The machine can hold up to 550lbs on the table in horizontal and vertical movements. Combined with its 70cm bore, this is a system that works well for larger patients.

Specifications
The Tim System (Total Imaging Matrix):
The Tim system, integrated into the Siemens Espree 1.5T,
was created to increase imaging/ clinical speed, flexibility, and accuracy
to make workflow more efficient and productive.
Tim is based on the most innovative RF technology integrated
with a different Matrix coil design.
Tim is known as a leading advancement in MRI technology.
With the Tim Technology, whole body scans can be performed in one single pass.


Flexibility
The Siemens MAGNETOM Espree 1.5T includes up to 76 integrated matrix
coil elements and up to 32 independent RF channels combined to create Tim,
the Total Imaging Matrix.
Tim is adjustable to the pathology under examination and the individual.

Accuracy
Matrix coils unleash the high SNR (Signal-to-Noise ratio) only local coils provide.
Tim is ultra precise from whole-body
to single organ exams from 205 cm FoV down to 5 mm.
This is all done without patient repositioning, for all clinical applications,
and with up to 100% more signal-to-noise ratio.

Speed
Siemens Espree 1.5T Tim system offers exceptional speed, parallel in all directions,
from head to toe, side to side, and front to back, with up to PAT 16,
even for double oblique slice orientation.
The system offers no restrictions in coverage and the high SNR of standard Matrix coils.
