MAGNETOM Spectra
 
www.healthcare.siemens.com/magnetic-resonance-imaging/3t-mri-scanner/magnetom-spectra From Siemens Medical Systems;
Received FDA clearance in 2012.
The MAGNETOM Spectra is a cost-optimized high field MRI system with Tim 4G and Dot technologies. The system consumes less energy compared to other 3 Tesla scanners. The magnet-cooling helium is contained in a closed loop, which prevents the gas from escaping and reduces the need for refills. TimTX includes innovative techniques in the radio frequency excitation hardware as well as new application and processing features enabling uniform RF distribution in all body regions.

High Field MRI
 
The principal advantage of MRI at high field is the increase in signal to noise ratio. This can be used to improve anatomic and/or temporal resolution and reduce scan time while preserving image quality. MRI devices for whole body imaging for human use are available up to 3 tesla (3T). Functional MRI (fMRI) and MR spectroscopy (MRS) benefit significantly. In addition, 3T machines have a great utility in applications such as TOF MRA and DTI. Higher field strengths are used for imaging of small parts of the body or scientific animal experiments. Higher contrast may permit reduction of gadolinium doses and, in some cases, earlier detection of disease.
Using high field MRI//MRS, the RF-wavelength and the dimension of the human body complicating the development of MR coils. The absorption of RF power causes heating of the tissue. The energy deposited in the patient's tissues is fourfold higher at 3T than at 1.5T. The specific absorption rate (SAR) induced temperature changes of the human body are the most important safety issue of high field MRI//MRS.
Susceptibility and chemical shift dispersion increase like T1, therefore high field MRI occasionally exhibits imaging artifacts. Most are obvious and easily recognized but some are subtle and mimic diseases. A thorough understanding of these artifacts is important to avoid potential pitfalls. Some imaging techniques or procedures can be utilized to remove or identify artifacts.
