Tim (Total imaging matrix Technology)

Around the world, Tim® (Total imaging matrix) technology has

become the new standard in MRI. With thousands of installations.
Tim seamlessly integrates a high number of coil elements with a
high number of RF channels, escalating versatility, image quality
and acquisition speed to a whole new level. Think more exams per
day. Every day.

Flexibility

Select exams, not coils. Seamlessly integrated matrix coil elements

combined with the independent RF-channels create one Total
imaging matrix. A matrix in any way you want, tailored to the
anatomy or clinical questions. Improving workflow and increasing
productivity.

Accuracy

Local and total. Extreme precision for single organ exams up to

whole CNS exams, from 5 mm to 140 cm FoV, without patient
repositioning. For all applications. Enabling you to answer some of
the most challenging clinical questions.

Speed

Parallel in all directions, head to toe, front to back, and side to

side. With Tim’s faster and simpler exam set-up, plus Tim’s process-
ing speed, now the daily productivity can really soar.

Tim has made fast, flexible and

accurate scans the rule, rather than
the exception.

Dot (Day optimizing throughput) Engine

With Dot® Siemens sets the benchmark in MR scanning and pro-

ductivity. Easily adapt to the patient’s condition or clinical question,
consistently achieve reproducible, high-quality results, and con-
sequently reduce exam times and the number of rescans. For true
flexibility, consistency and efficiency in every aspect of MRI.

Flexibility. Intuitive protocol management.

The Dot exam strategies allow you to adjust each exam to the
patient’s situation or clinical question at hand. Intuitively choose
the “High-Resolution Scan” strategy for the highest possible image
quality. Or switch to the ”Limited Patient Capability” strategy if a
patient was being uncooperative. The result – reduction of rescans
and consistent outcomes under different exam scenarios.

Consistency. Quality results for each exam.

Every patient is different. Every referrers’ and radiologists’ requirement

is different. But your results need to be consistent and of high quality.
Your daily schedule has to be met. Dot is your partner in meeting all
of these different needs with dedicated functionality for the clinical
question at hand.

Efficiency. Up to 20%1) shorter exam slots.

Time, quality and costs define the efficiency of your MRI exams. Dot
enables you to reduce exam time by up to 20% and makes schedul-
ing more predictable (examtime variation less than one minute2)).
Also time-consuming software interaction is reduced dramatically
(by up to 46%1)). Standardized procedures support quality results for
each exam and help to reduce rescans. All in all turnaround time to
the referrer is quicker, quality higher, and MRI more efficient.

Tim Assistant facilitates optimized iPAT settings. Higher speed and
temporal solution can be used for:
• Improved image resolution
• Improved image quality due to reduced artifacts
3 different calibration techniques can be used:
• AutoCalibration with an integrated reference (calibration) scan to
additionally save on total scan time
• TurboCalibration uses a separate measurement directly before the
actual measurement. Images measured using TurboCalibration are
characterized by reduced PAT artifacts. TurboCalibration is only used in
conjunction with GRAPPA.
• PAT averaging for motion artifact suppression using Self-Calibration
iPAT² More slices and coverage in the same breath-hold by applying PAT in 2
directions simultaneously (phase-encoding direction and 3D direction for
3D sequences)
The effective PAT factor can be maximized, and PAT applications are
extended. Typical clinical applications are MR Angiography or ultrafast
isotropic T1-weighted 3D imaging of the head.
A new iPAT² sequence technique named CAIPIRINHA (Controlled Aliasing
In Parallel Imaging Results IN Higher Acceleration) has been added. It can
be applied to simultaneous multi-slice imaging techniques and volumetric
3D imaging e.g. in the abdominal region or in angiographic examinations.

DICOM Study Split DICOM Study Split provides the mapping of one study acquired based
on multiple requests to multiple studies directly at the scanner. For
example, two requests for head and neck acquisition can be registered
once, scanned once and immediately mapped to two separate studies for
individual reading.
Multiple requested procedures can be combined in a time saving manner
by scanning a larger body region and then splitting them to individual
billing relevant studies for separate reading.
This package allows:
• Time saving simple mapping of multiple requested procedures to
multiple acquired series with one scan
• Simple creation of studies with individual billing based on one scan
workflow
• Improvement for departmental workflow by eliminating need to
load / change and to request / execute splitting on a separate workstation
after the scan
• Immediate visual selection, check and correction of images to study
assignments.
• Overlapping region images can be copied to both studies
