Siemens MAGNETOM Sola 1.5T
Manufacturer: Siemens Healthineers · Modality: MRI
1.5 T wide-bore clinical workhorse built on the BioMatrix platform. Successor-class to MAGNETOM Aera at the same clinical positioning, with BioMatrix sensors and Tuners integrated into the coil / table architecture to reduce operator-dependent variability across patients.
BioMatrix platform
- BioMatrix Sensors — respiratory and cardiac sensors integrated into the table; no separate belts/electrodes for most exams.
- BioMatrix Tuners — per-patient shim and RF tuning adjust automatically at the start of each scan to reduce inter-patient signal variability.
- BioMatrix Interfaces — coil/table handling designed for fewer manual steps per exam.
- Turbo Suite (optional) — Deep Resolve + Compressed Sensing acceleration for shorter sequences.
Specs
- 1.5 T · 70 cm wide bore
- XQ gradients — 45 mT/m amplitude, 200 T/m/s slew
- Tim 4G coil platform; BioMatrix table and sensors
- syngo MR XA host software
- Deep Resolve deep-learning reconstruction (current revisions)
Clinical positioning
Workhorse 1.5 T — neuro, MSK, body, cardiac, breast, prostate. Replaces the Aera for most greenfield 1.5 T specifications. Shares the 70 cm wide-bore chassis used by the 3T Lumina, which allows Siemens customers to maintain coil / workflow consistency across field strengths.
Relationship to siblings
- MAGNETOM Aera 1.5T — predecessor-class; same 70 cm bore, pre-BioMatrix.
- MAGNETOM Lumina 3T — 3 T BioMatrix sibling on the same chassis family.
- MAGNETOM Free.Max — 0.55 T 80 cm bore lower-field sibling.
