U.K. hospital deploys Siemens MRI

Guy’s and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust has installed a Magnetom Aera 1.5 Tesla MRI system from Siemens Healthcare at Guy’s Hospital.

The multi-purpose system is being used for a range of exams such as breast MRI, head imaging, orthopedics and neuroimaging, according to Erlangen, Germany-based Siemens. The Aera’s 70cm open bore is able to accommodate a variety of patient sizes, allowing many examinations to be completed with the patient’s head outside the bore, Siemens explained.
