Siemens Medical Systems
 
www.siemensmedical.com The range of diagnostics and imaging systems of Siemens Medical Systems covers ultrasound, nuclear medicine, angiography, magnetic resonance, computer tomography and patient monitoring. Siemens is one of the three leading MRI manufacturers, which together account for approximately 80 percent of the MRI machines installed worldwide. Siemens currently offers the Allegra 3T MRI, which is for head scanning only, but the company will also be launching the Trio MRI, a 3T whole body scanner.
Siemens has formed partnerships with more than ten research institutions and private practitioners to define a comprehensive MRI examination and compare MR to currently established cardiovascular modalities, thereby defining optimal diagnosis and treatment.

MRI Scanners:

0.2T to 1.0T:
1.5T:
3.0T to 7.0T:
Hybrid Scanners:
Mobile Solutions:
MAGNETOM Espree 1.5T, MAGNETOM Avanto 1.5T and MAGNETOM ESSENZA 1.5T are also offered by Siemens on certified trailers.

Biograph mMR
 
www.healthcare.siemens.com/magnetic-resonance-imaging/mr-pet-scanner/biograph-mmr FDA cleared and CE Mark 2011.
The Biograph mMR has a fully-integrated design for simultaneous PET/MRI imaging. The dedicated hardware includes solid-state, avalanche photodiode PET detector and adapted, PET-compatible MR coils.
The possibility of truly simultaneous operation allows the acquisition of several magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences during the positron emission tomography (PET) scan, without increasing the examination time.

(July 20, 2009 - EPIX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced today that, in light of the company's lack of capital and inability to obtain additional financing or consummate a strategic transaction, it has entered into an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors, effective immediately, in accordance with Massachusetts law).
EPIX has been a specialty pharmaceutical firm developing targeted contrast agents to improve the capability of MRI as a diagnostic tool for a variety of diseases. Gadofosveset trisodium (formerly MS-325, Vasovist™, now ABLAVARt™), is an injectable intravascular contrast agents designed for multiple vascular imaging applications, including peripheral vascular disease and coronary artery disease. EPIX conducted a pivotal Phase III trial for the detection of peripheral vascular disease, as well as a Phase II feasibility trial for coronary artery disease diagnosis.
To ensure rapid development and adoption of gadofosveset trisodium into clinical practice upon regulatory approval, EPIX pursued an aggressive product development plan and commercialization strategy. The Company established an exclusive, worldwide sales and marketing agreement with Bayer Schering Pharma AG. EPIX also established corporate collaborations with GE Healthcare, Philips Medical Systems and Siemens Medical Systems, the three leading MRI manufacturers, which together account for approximately 80 percent of the MRI machines installed worldwide.
EPIX had other MRI contrast agents under development, most significantly a novel prototype blood clot agent (EP-2104R). Potential clinical applications for this type of agent include detection of deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and blood clots in the coronary and carotid arteries. Currently, there is no high resolution imaging technique to directly visualize blood clots in patients with suspected cardiovascular disease.

MAGNETOM Aera
 
www.healthcare.siemens.com/magnetic-resonance-imaging/0-35-to-1-5t-mri-scanner/magnetom-aera/ From Siemens Medical Systems;
Received FDA clearance in 2010.
The MAGNETOM Aera is a patient friendly, comfortable 1.5 Tesla MRI system with advanced radio frequency chain.
The system is equipped with the Tim 4G and Dot system (Total imaging matrix + Day optimizing throughput), to enhance both productivity and image quality.
Tim 4G technology provides improved SNR.
