MAGNETOM Verio
 
www.healthcare.siemens.com/magnetic-resonance-imaging/3t-mri-scanner/magnetom-verio 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.

Quick Overview
Please note that there are different common names for this artifact.
Artifact Information
NAME
Chemical shift, black boundary, spatial misregistration, relief
DESCRIPTION
Black or bright band
During frequency encoding, fat protons precess slower than water protons in the same slice because of their magnetic shielding. Through the difference in resonance frequency between water and fat, protons at the same location are misregistrated (dislocated) by the Fourier transformation, when converting MRI signals from frequency to spatial domain. This chemical shift misregistration cause accentuation of any fat-water interfaces along the frequency axis and may be mistaken for pathology. Where fat and water are in the same location, this artifact can be seen as a bright or dark band at the edge of the anatomy.
Protons in fat and water molecules are separated by a chemical shift of about 3.5 ppm. The actual shift in Hertz (Hz) depends on the magnetic field strength of the magnet being used. Higher field strength increases the misregistration, while in contrast a higher gradient strength has a positive effect. For a 0.3 T system operating at 12.8 MHz the shift will be 44.8 Hz compared with a 223.6 Hz shift for a 1.5 T system operating at 63.9 MHz.
mri safety guidance
Image Guidance
For artifact reduction helps a smaller water fat shift (higher bandwidth), a higher matrix, an in phase TE or a spin echo technique. Since the misregistration offset is present in the read out axis the patient may be rescanned with this axis parallel to the fat-water interface. Steeper gradient may be employed to reduce the chemical shift offset in mm. Another strategy is to employ specialized pulse sequences such as fat saturation or inversion recovery imaging. Fat suppression techniques eliminate chemical shift artifacts caused by the lack of fat signal.
