Title: 3-Tesla MAGNETOM VIDA MRI WITH BIOMATRIX TECHNOLOGY
Context: Dr. D Y Patil Medical College, Research Center and Hospital, Pune is an advanced tertiary care hospital with super-specialty departments with need for cutting edge technology especially in the field of diagnostics, so as to improve patient management and for widening the scope of the hospital itself.
Objectives:
3-Tesla MAGNETOM VIDA MRI WITH BIOMATRIX TECHNOLOGY is one of the finest technologies available in the field of MRI and offers the unmatched diagnostic advantages for the treating physicians facilitating patient well being.
It also unveils am opportunity for wide spectrum of prospective and retrospective research projects keeping with the progress of the department of Radiodiagnosis and the hospital.
Practice:
• By using intuitive and AI based technologies, operators are able to schedule one more patient per hour.
• BioMatrix respiratory and cardiac Sensors – Anticipate motion for high-quality results.
• BioMatrix Tuners with CoilShim technology and SliceAdjust technology helps to avoid repeat scans due to significantly improved fat saturation and better DWI quality in the head/neck and spine region.
• Better in bore experience to help decrease the claustrophobia.
• Many dissertations and international research projects are going on using advanced software.
