When we introduced SIGNA™ MAGNUS, we embarked on an exploration journey that laid the foundation for groundbreaking neurological discoveries. The FDA-clearance for SIGNA MAGNUS in October 2024, took us one step closer to finding new ways to deal with some of the world’s most complex and deteriorating diseases.

 

What is even more exciting is that MAGNUS was only the beginning. Today, we are thrilled to unveil our latest MR innovation: SIGNA™ Sprint‡‡. SIGNA Sprint earns its name by embodying our mission to rapidly advance MR capabilities and accessibility for patients throughout the world.

 

SIGNA Sprint exemplifies two key tenets of our mission: to enable groundbreaking

discoveries while making MR more accessible and sustainable. Bringing an impressive gradient performance for the first time in a 1.5T scanner and native compatibility with our industry-leading AI solutions, SIGNA Sprint is equipped to deliver exceptional power with brilliant intelligence.

 

Building on the strong foundation of SIGNA MAGNUS, SIGNA Sprint aims to expand MR’s capabilities and applications in two critical care pathways: cardiology and oncology. SIGNA Sprint provides our clinical and academic partners a unique opportunity to tap all the benefits of a 3.0T-like gradient, with the accessibility of a 1.5T system, enabling you to deliver more precise, consistent imaging for patients and research needs. In cardiology, users will recognize the benefits of 1.5T imaging, coupled with impressively short TRs, delivering advanced clinical care made easy. In oncology, users will enjoy ultra-short TEs to reduce distortion in high-resolution diffusion imaging and compatibility with the AIR™ RT Open Coil Suite of surface coils, designed for use with radiation oncology tools.

 

SIGNA Sprint is more than just an addition to our product lineup – it’s a leap forward in our mission to change the outcome, enabling broader access to the latest technology for more patients and users worldwide.

 

Together, we are shaping the future of MR imaging, one innovation at a time, so we can leave future generations with a world where healthcare truly has no limits.
