3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging

At the IGEA Nursing Home, located at Via Dezza 48 in Milan, we make available to our patients the 3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging MAGNETOM Vida by Siemens, a latest-generation diagnostic system.

This device combines the power of a high-intensity magnetic field with artificial intelligence, ensuring rapid examinations and high-resolution images, with a design that optimizes patient comfort.

What is 3 Tesla MRI?

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the human body's organs and tissues, without the use of ionizing radiation.

A machine from 3 Tesla It has a magnetic field twice as strong as traditional 1,5 Tesla devices, thus offering higher image definition and better visualization of anatomical structures.

Difference between the 3 Tesla and the 1,5 Tesla

The main difference between the two devices lies in the magnetic field strength:

1,5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging: It represents the most widespread diagnostic standard. It offers good-quality images and allows for the performance of most clinical tests, with average times and standard resolution.
3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging: thanks to a double magnetic field, it produces images with a superior signal-to-noise ratio, therefore sharper and more detailed. This allows even very small and subtle anatomical structures to be visualized, improving the ability to identify early alterations or minor lesions.

In summary, 3T MRI allows you to obtain superior image quality in less time, making it particularly suitable for neurological and cardiac investigations.

Our device: MAGNETOM Vida (Siemens)

La 3 Tesla MRI installed at our clinic has a system designed to provide high image quality and comfortThe wide bore opening (70 cm) and intelligent technology that automatically adapts to the patient make the examination faster and less stressful.

Key innovations include:

BioMatrix Technology: automatically adapts exam parameters to the patient's physical and physiological characteristics, improving image quality and reducing the need for repeat acquisitions.
Deep Resolve (Artificial Intelligence): uses advanced reconstruction algorithms to generate high-quality images in shorter times.

Benefits for the patient

Thanks to the latest generation technology and the power of the magnetic field, our 3 Tesla MRI offers:

High resolution images (3T), which support accurate diagnostic reporting.
Non-invasive tests, without the use of radiation.

Application fields

The 3 Tesla MRI is dedicated in particular to neurological and cardiac examinations.

In neurological field It allows for extremely detailed images of the brain and spinal cord to be obtained, which are essential for the study of neurological pathologies such as multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, brain tumors, and vascular alterations.

Comfort and attention to the patient

We pay particular attention to patient well-being. Diagnostic imaging environments are designed to reduce anxiety and feelings of confinement, with adjustable lighting, controlled ventilation, and constant communication with the technician during the exam. Advanced technologies help shorten exam times and ensure a peaceful and safe experience.

The role of staff

Each test is performed by medical radiology technicians (TSRM) qualified and reported by specialist radiologists in neurological and cardiac diagnostics. The staff's expertise, combined with 3 Tesla technology, ensures accurate and timely reports, which are important for the diagnostic process.
