Sustainability in MRI with equitable access for any patient and any user
At a Glance
Sustainable MRI solutions that enable broader precision medicine to all
Our goal is to put MRI technology in more hands and more places by making it easier to own and operate. As we see a global increase in demand for MRI procedures, we also see significant staff shortages, clinician burnout and a greater strain on our planet’s precious finite resources. We feel it is more important than ever before to provide sustainable and equitable access to MRI technology, for everyone.
To achieve this vision, we continue to introduce innovative technology that is easier to install, use and upgrade. We also ensure your MRI is operating at peak efficiency while greatly reducing scan times without compromising image quality. All to improve the patient experience and reduce staff burden, ensuring improved outcomes as well as a greater return on your investment. We also carefully design our products to be environmentally conscious at every stage of their life cycle, from sourcing and circularity, to manufacturing, through operation and decommissioning. Our MRI solutions are optimized to not only address the clinical and operational challenges of today, but also provide a more sustainable and equitable future for tomorrow.

1. Helium savings are calculated from the non-manufacture of new magnets across the SIGNA™ Lift & SIGNA™ Evo upgrade installed base
2. Helium savings calculated from the difference in average fill rate between the latest and previous generation magnet
3. Projected power consumption reduction on a system with or without deep learning reconstruction
4. Carbon footprint is the reduction of carbon emission that would have happened if the client exchanged system instead of upgrading it. The transportation CO² emission is estimated with the weight of the items not replaced, the mode of the shipment, the distance of the shipment and SimaPro. SimaPro, estimates sustainability KPIs.
