Magnetom avanto fit 1.5 t

Manufactured by Siemens
Sourced in Germany

The Magnetom Avanto fit 1.5 T is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system manufactured by Siemens. It operates at a magnetic field strength of 1.5 Tesla, which is a common field strength used in clinical MRI scanners. The core function of this system is to generate high-quality medical images of the human body for diagnostic purposes.

Pelvic MRI Tumor Segmentation Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Initial MRI data of the pelvic region were available for 71 out of the total 75 patients included in this study. All MRI examinations featured 1.5-Tesla 3D T2-weighted (T2W) contrast sequences, which were utilized for precise tumor delineation. MRI were acquired at eight institutions, using the following scanner models: Siemens Magnetom Avanto Fit 1.5 T, Siemens Magnetom Symphony TIM 1.5 T, and Hitachi Echelon 1.5 T. To minimize the effect of using different scanners, voxel intensities within tumor volumes of interest were normalized by the z-score method prior to radiomics analysis.
Intra-observer reproducibility was assessed by comparing two segmentations performed by the same observer (M.M.), 8 weeks apart to reduce recall bias. The similarity between segmentations was estimated using the dice similarity coefficient (DSC), calculated with a 3D Slicer (version 5.4.0). The mean (±standard deviation) intra-observer DSC was 0.936 ± 0.029 (range: 0.872–0.970). The mean (±standard deviation) intra-observer average Hausdorff distance was 0.50 ± 0.04 mm (range: 0.11–1.39).

GRASP MRI Protocol for Brain Imaging

GRASP MRI was performed using MAGNETOM Avanto FIT 1.5 T, MAGNETOM Skyra 3 T, and MAGNETOM Skyra FIT 3 T scanners (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) utilizing 20-channel head/neck coils. All patients were prepared in the scanner in a supine position. The conventional exam protocol consisted of an axial T1-weighted (T1w) TSE sequence (slice thickness ST = 4 mm), axial and coronal T2w FS/TIRM sequences (ST = 4 mm), and DWI acquisition. Sensitizing diffusion gradients were applied sequentially in the x, y, and z direction with b-values set to 0 and 1000 s/mm2. Contrast-enhanced sequences included a dynamic GRASP acquisition with simultaneous contrast injection (injection speed 2.0 ml/s via 20G IV catheter, injection delay 20s, total dynamic acquisition time 4:23 min, 1.5 mm isotropic resolution), and an axial and coronal T1w FS post-contrast sequence (ST = 4 mm, Fig. 1). GRASP-specific sequence parameters are presented in Table 1.

MRI Assessment of Cerebrovascular Changes

All participants were scanned using a 1.5 T MRI scanner (Ingenia 1.5 T, Philips; Magnetom Avanto fit 1.5 T, Siemens). Images were assessed by two board-certified neurologists (T.H. and K.I.) for the presence of periventricular hyperintensity (PVH), deep white matter hyperintensity (DWMH), and cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), according to the published definition
12)
. PVH and DWMH were rated using the Fazekas scale (0-3 for each hemisphere) on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images. The CMBs were small (generally 2-5 mm in diameter, but occasionally up to 10 mm) areas devoid of signal, with associated blooming seen on T2-weighted MRI. The CMBs were assessed for the number of lesions and the location (i.e., lobar, basal ganglia, or both).

Carotid ultrasound was performed on all patients according to standard procedures
10)
, using a high-resolution B-mode ultrasound system (Nemio SSA-550A, Toshiba) with a 7.5-MHz transducer by trained ultrasonographers who were blinded to the purpose of this study. The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the far wall was electronically measured on both sides of the common carotid artery, carotid artery bulb, and internal carotid artery. Plaques were included in the IMT measurements. We used the mean of the right and left maximum IMTs at the three locations. We defined significant extracranial artery stenosis (ECAS) as the presence of atherosclerotic stenosis of ≥ 50% or occlusion according to the European Carotid Surgery Trial criteria
11)
.
Intracranial arteries were examined using time-of-flight MRA using a 1.5 T MRI scanner (Ingenia 1.5 T, Philips; Magnetom Avanto fit 1.5 T, Siemens). The narrowest diameter of each stenosed vessel was measured and divided by the diameter of the normal vessel proximal to the lesion or distal to the lesion if the proximal artery was diseased. Significant intracranial artery stenosis (ICAS) was defined as ≥ 50% stenosis or occlusion. The location of ICAS was divided into anterior (i.e., internal carotid, middle cerebral, and anterior cerebral arteries) and posterior (i.e., vertebral, basilar, and posterior cerebral arteries) circulation.

Shoulder Motion in Healthy Adults

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After obtaining informed consent (IRB 71782), ten healthy subjects <35 years of age and ten healthy subjects >45 years of age participated in a study of shoulder motion. These age groups were motivated by the relative distribution of shoulder injury and pathology described previously. Subjects recruited from the University of Utah were in good health (no preconditions on activity level), BMI ≤30, with equal distribution of sex per group. Subjects were screened for gross shoulder abnormalities and any history of shoulder surgery or pain. After pre-screening, anteroposterior and axillary radiographs were obtained to examine parameters like joint congruency and spacing. Magnetic resonance imaging followed standard shoulder protocols for our institution (e.g. axial PD FS; coronal T1, T2 FS; sagittal T1, T2 FS, oblique T2 FS; 320×320 or 384×384 matrix; 3.5/3.8 mm or 5.0/5.5 mm slices; no contrast; Magnetom Avanto_Fit 1.5T, Siemens, Malvern, PA). A fellowship-trained, board-certified orthopedic shoulder surgeon (PNC or RZT) reviewed radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging for signs of pathology. Subjects determined to have asymptomatic pathology (e.g. rotator cuff tears, osteoarthritis) were excluded from further study.”

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
