SIEMENS MAGNETOM C! 
Siemens“Magnetom C!”, ( a new open 0.35T )is currently the most compact C-shaped permanent magnet that meets routine clinical requirements for neurology, orthopedics, and angiography, as well as pediatrics, oncology and cardiology. Magnetom C! provides excellent image quality and high diagnostic certainty in a cost-effective package.

With a diameter of only 137 centimeters, the magnet in the Magnetom C! is one of the most compact in its class. System advantages include high field technology and excellent image quality. In addition, the system is open on three sides.

The side “entry” to the unit used for all examinations (except those for the head and neck) means the patient has a clear view in all directions. The patient table moves two-dimensionally, ensuring that the region of interest is always at the center of the magnet to obtain optimum image quality. The C-shaped design simplifies the examination both for patients and hospital staff. Optimal access and easy examinations are possible even for obese patients. 

Innovative components (2D Pace, iPAT, Inline-Technology, syngo, Phoenix) have been integrated into the Magnetom C!, resulting in a mid-field system with high field technology. The system is easy to operate thanks to syngo, the standardized software from Siemens. Protocol data can be exchanged using the integrated Phoenix function. Phoenix extracts sequence protocols from clinical images acquired on Magnetom systems. This, for example, increases reproducibility during follow-up examinations.

High field technology is also used in the Magnetom C! for coils and RF channels. The use of up to four channels enables faster examinations. As a result, the patient can be prepared for examination by up to four channels, which enables optimum anatomical coverage. This eliminates the need to reposition coils, reducing examination times and enabling more patients to be examined within the same period of time. This means that hospital workflows can be designed more efficiently.
