From Philips Medical Systems;
Philips continues to expand the frontiers of utra high field MRI with the introduction of the new Intera Achieva 3.0T™. Its powerful future-safe platform shares all the advantages of the Achieva family and covers applications throughout the whole body.

From Siemens Medical Systems;
The Magnetom Trio™, a 3T whole body MRI system with Tim (total imaging matrix technology), targets clinical applications such as abdominal, cardiac, spine, whole body and orthopedics. TIM enables flexible coil combinations for high resolution imaging of large anatomical areas without the need to change coils.

From Siemens Medical Systems;
Received FDA clearance in 2007.
The MAGNETOM Verio provides up to 102 integrated matrix coil elements and up to 32 independent radiofrequency channels that allow flexible coil combinations to make patient and coil repositioning virtually unnecessary. The Tim (total imaging matrix) technology also increases patient throughput due to a shorter scan time.
The open bore design offers great comfort for patients of all shapes and sizes.

The subacute risks and side effects of magnetic and RF fields (for patients and staff) have been intensively examined for a long time, but there have been no long-term studies following persons who have been exposed to the static magnetic fields used in MRI. However, no permanent hazardous effects of a static magnetic field exposure upon human beings have yet been demonstrated.
Temporary possible side effects of high magnetic and RF fields:
The results of some animal and cellular studies suggest the possibility that electromagnetic fields may act as co-carcinogens or tumor promoters, but the data are inconclusive. Up to 45 tesla, no important effects on enzyme systems have been observed. Neither changes in enzyme kinetics, nor orientation changes in macromolecules have been conclusively demonstrated.
There are some publications associating an increase in the incidence of leukemia with the location of buildings close to high-current power lines with extremely low-frequency (ELF) electromagnetic radiation of 50-60 Hz, and industrial exposure to electric and magnetic fields but a transposition of such effects to MRI or MRS seems unlikely.
Under consideration of the MRI safety guidelines, real dangers or risks of an exposure with common MRI field strengths up to 3 tesla as well as the RF exposure during the MRI scan, are not to be expected.
