With the shortest 1.5T magnet in the industry and its 70 cm (over two feet) inner diameter, MAGNETOM Espreeis the only Open Bore MR scanner to combine high-fieldpower with the highest level of patient comfort. In fact,most clinical applications can be done feetfirst, with thepatient's head outside the magnet.

125cm

70cm

With the introduction of MAGNETOMEspree, we launched a new way to thinkabout Open MRI. With its 70 cm innerdiameter, the shortest 1.5T magnet in the

industry and the unparalleled capabilityof Tim, MAGNETOM Espree bringstogether, for the first time, CT-like com-fort with true 1.5T high-field power. In fact, with a remarkably short 125 cmsystem, over 60% of typical exams can be done with the patient’s head outsideof the Open Bore to ease feelings ofclaustrophobia.

All together a new level of excellence – from every perspective

MAGNETOM Espree meets I-class.

MAGNETOM Espree with I-class is based on Tim, the most inno-vative RF-technology integratedwith a radically different Matrixcoil design. Truly, one of theworld’s leading advances in MRI.

From the beginning, Tim (Total imagingmatrix) changed everything. With a newlevel of flexibility, accuracy, and speed toadvance both your clinical and workflowcapabilities. And now, with Tim enablinginnovative new applications, everythingis about to change again.

All together revolutionary

Tim. The power behind our most innovative

Tim: A revolution in flexibility. Select exams, not coils.

Configure Tim’s lightweight Matrix coils any way you want, tailored to theanatomy or clinical question you areinterested in. Tim’s Intelligent Coil Controlthen automatically detects and selectsthe appropriate coil elements. Pathologydoesn’t stop at the end of a coil, and nowa single click is enough to perform yourcomprehensive exam.

applications.

Tim: A revolution in speed. Parallel in all directions.

Tim was designed for superior ParallelImaging in all directions and from headto toe. Tim gives you the highest acqui-sition speed without sacrificing spatial ortemporal resolution. For 3D exams withdouble oblique slice orientation. Withacceleration factors up to 16, you’ll enjoyshorter scan times, shorter exams, andgreatly increased patient throughput.

Tim: A revolution in accuracy.Local and total.

With up to 100% more SNR provided byTim’s high density Matrix coil elements,you enjoy pinpointed accuracy. Whetheryou’re scanning a single tiny lesion orfocusing on multiple organs, joints, theentire central nervous system, or eventhe whole body.

And with Tim’s tremendously innovativeRF system and Matrix coils, the need forpatient repositioning and coil changes is completely avoided. Enabling shorterexam times. Much faster clinical routine.And the power to address disease statesthat accompany obesity, such as lumbarspine disk herniations, knee problems,and cardiovascular disease.

As the first true High-field Open Bore,MAGNETOM Espree gives you the mostcomprehensive range of applicationspossible. So you no longer have to sendpatients elsewhere.

More comfort. More applications. More referrals. And more profitability.With MAGNETOM Espree and I-class, it adds up to exactly what you need tosucceed today. And tomorrow.

MAGNETOM Espree can handle every patientweight up to 250 kg/550 lb. Feetfirst positioningincluded. Here a 1.63 m/5′4″, patient was imagedin four minutes. SL 4 mm, 378 x 512 matrix.

With its small footprint of lessthan 30 m2, siting MAGNETOMEspree is easy and efficient. And there’s no need for adedicated computer room.

All together the most innovative applications

Innovative applications: Diagnose extremely challenging diseasesquickly and with more confidence.

Stroke. Spinal abnormalities. Liver cancer.Disk herniation. Heart disease. Now youcan tackle the toughest studies. Evaluatethe most complex pathologies. And handledifficult patients with ease. Siemenssyngo MR applications help you to dothings never before possible.

Innovative workflow: I-class streamlines MRI exams.

syngo, the highly intuitive Siemens cross-modality user interface, is the basisfor all MAGNETOM Espree with I-classapplications. Enabling you to expand yourcapabilities in every clinical field – fromwomen’s health to functional MRI.

MAGNETOM Espree with I-class supports your workflow in several ways. With breakthrough applications that save scanningand processing time. Reduce unnecessary tasks. Improve accuracyand speed of diagnoses. And forever change the way you work.

Clinical Applications

• syngo 2D PACE: Simplifies bodyimaging, allowing for multi-breath-holdexaminations as well as free breathingduring the scans without a respiratorybelt.

• syngo BLADE: Provides robust imagingin neurological, orthopedic and abdo-minal procedures, correcting for motionartifacts in all body regions.

• syngo SPACE: Acquires high-resolution3D images at incredible speeds withcontrasts that were not possible before.

• syngo SWI (Susceptibility WeightedImaging): Reveals blood products andvenous structures with great clarity.

• syngo REVEAL: Body Diffusion Imagingfor breast, spine, pelvis, or abdomenwith free-breathing (2D PACE).

• syngo GRACE: Breast spectroscopyincluding fat, lipid and water suppres-sion, motion correction and cholinequantification. Increases specificity andenhances treatment monitoring.

Workflow Innovations

• syngo Inline Technology: Allows youto perform certain processing steps as early as during image reconstructionand display them immediately aftercompletion. That means processinginstead of post-processing. Subtractionimages, Maximum Intensity Projection,etc., are displayed immediately aftercompletion of the scan.

• syngo Phoenix and PhoenixZIP:Enable simple exchange of MR protocols,quickly retrieving the entire protocolinformation in one easy drag-and-dropstep. This allows reproducible follow-upexaminations.

• syngo AutoAlign solutions: Allows reproducible slice positioning in the head and the spine. No manualadjustments. Maximizes standardizationand comparability in follow-up exami-nations.

• syngo Expert-i: Gives physicians andexperts the ability to remotely accessthe MRI suite from virtually anywherewithin your network, making it possibleto address difficult clinical questionswhile a patient is being scanned.
