Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations are especially challenging when applied to the pediatric population. The unique technical challenges are related to signal-to-noise (SNR), as pediatric protocols tend to require a small field of view (FoV), high resolution and fast acquisition times. Each of these individually will reduce SNR. MAGNETOM Aera and MAGNETOM Skyra have successfully addressed these challenges — thanks to Tim + Dot technologies.

A 3-D view does more than make for exciting movies in a theater; it can also improve the care of animals. The Chicago Zoological Society’s (CZS) Brookfield Zoo is the first North American zoo to use revolutionary 3-D imaging technology with on-site digital radiology and computed tomography (CT) equipment in its state-of-the-art animal hospital. The new technology allows the Society’s veterinarians to enhance two-dimensional CT scans, MRIs and ultrasounds with 3-D models that will enable them to better treat zoo animals.
