The Erwin L. Hahn Institute / University of Duisburg Essen (Germany) has a new heart: After the old 7 Tesla MRI scanner’s departure in July, its long-awaited successor moved in August. The new scanner also boasts a field strength of 7 Tesla, but is able to work more efficiently.

Getting the 20 ton-MRI scanner to its new place was a precision job, which was preceded by months of reconstruction work inside the ELH’s premises to ensure both the workers’ and the scanner’s safety.

The friendly beach theme, which includes children playing, sand castles being built, and sea-life playing in the waves, is a welcome distraction for the patients and parents. Adding a sense of wonder to the pediatric space lessens anxiety for children undergoing medical procedures. When undergoing a stressful procedure such as an MRI, less anxiety means a lowered chance the children will move during the scan. This reduces their time in the machine, and allows the hospital to attend to more patients in a day.

MR-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a novel, groundbreaking technology that allows incisionless surgery. Insightec’s Exablate Neuro uses up to 1024 High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound waves (HIFU waves) to heat and precisely ablate the target spot with no surgical incisions or burr holes. Integration with the MRI system allows precise, patient-specific treatment planning and real-time monitoring.
