Biograph mMR sets a new standard. As the only system that can simultaneously acquire MR and PET data across the whole body, it is a tremendous leap forward in imaging capabilities. Opening new doors in the diagnosis and understanding of disease. Fully supporting you from detection and planning through monitoring and follow-up.

Biograph mMR shows MR and PET data in virtually seamless spatial alignment. In addition, the MR acquisition can be used to correct for motion-related effects in PET, greatly improving image quality.

Spatial alignment

• Precise alignment of MR and PET through simultaneous acquisition
• One frame of reference
• Minimal motion artifacts
• Exact spatial registration

ÌýMinimizing the effects of motion

• Biograph mMR helps eliminate motion effects
• Brilliant MR and PET images through gating tools that freeze motion
• MR based PET gating information helps improve the quality of PET images
• Important for imaging moving organs like the liver Ìý

ÌýTemporal co-registration

• Helps ensure a better understanding of physiologic processes
• Capturing metabolic and functional processes at the exact same time
• Precise and accurate assessment of disease

Siting one system instead of two presents significant business benefits while patients and staff alike enjoy the benefits of shorter, more comprehensive exams.

One streamlined exam boosts your productivity

• Shortened acquisition times
• Two exams in one can help lead to to faster diagnoses
• Faster results for referring physicians

ÌýShorter exams and low radiation exposure

• Position once for both MR and PET exams
• No coil changing or repositioning, thanks to Tim integrated coil technology
• Reduced radiation exposure compared to other imaging modalities.

ÌýSignificant reduction of costs

• One room for MR and PET
• One cooling system
• One operator
• Potential for more patients per day

Simultaneous, whole-body MR and PET creates a synergy far beyond the capabilities of each. One that will unlock new medical applications now, and advance new areas of research in the future.

Be at the frontier of diagnostics and research with Biograph mMR

• Meet the needs of demanding high-end research
• Use synergies in routine clinical application
• Supports you in all aspects of MR and PET development
• New opportunities in the areas of funding, grants, donations, and publishing
• Attract the attention of referring physicians
• Differentiate your facility in a powerful way

Biograph mMR is being utilized in research and clinical routine. Three new customer movies nicely show this.

Biograph mMR is designed to give you the ability to meet the needs of demanding high-end research. The new system provides technology to tackle the toughest challenges that the world of healthcare faces today.

Overview Technical Details

• MR-compatible PET detectors: unique mMR block detector architecture includes integrated cooling features to provide optimal PET performance, as well as specialized shielding to virtually eliminate magnetic field interference in the PET data processing chain.
  Ìý
• Tim: optimized design for Biograph mMR and low-attenuation materials in Tim mMR coils and the mMR Tim Table minimize attenuation of the PET signals. This helps improve the consistency of PET data results.

Biograph mMR includes an actively shielded whole-body gradient system for excellent spatial and temporal resolution, enabling patient-specific shimming.

Unique TrueForm RF design includes innovative techniques in the RF excitation hardware as well as new application and processing features.

• Uniform RF distribution in all body regions
• Optimized amplitude and phase transmission settings
• Homogeneous B1 distribution

Siting one system instead of two allows a significant reduction in costs.

Biograph mMR requires an installation space similar to a conventional 3T MRI system, thus making the most of your precious space. The benefits of Biograph mMR are obvious: one room, one cooling system, one operator.
