MAGNETOM Sola 1.5T MRI is uniquely designed to deliver exceptional image quality and speed to reduce patient time under anesthesia

Press Release

(New York, N.Y. – October 2, 2023) An industry-leading MRI scanner is empowering veterinarians and reducing patient time under anesthesia at the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center.

“We wanted to find the best of both worlds,” says Helen M. Irving, RN, MBA, President & CEO of the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center.” We needed an MRI scanner that delivered high quality images with accuracy and speed, so as to reduce the overall time any pet is under anesthesia. The MAGNETOM Sola was the obvious choice for us.” 

BioMatrix Technology – a type of artificial intelligence – automatically adjusts to a patient’s anatomical and physiological differences to overcome unwanted variations in MRI examinations, critical in veterinary medicine when patients are anesthetized during the MRI. These factors help decrease the need for rescans while increasing scan consistency.  

 MAGNETOM Sola helps healthcare providers perform a full range of routine and complex MRI exams, while accelerating workflows and delivering precise results across all patient types.  

“By delivering unmatched levels of automation and personalization that address patient and user variability we are able to achieve high-quality imaging – consistently and efficiently – across all patients and parts of the body,” said Chad West, Chief Clinical Officer and Head of Neurology at the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center.

AMC’s renowned Diagnostic Imaging and Neurology teams include three distinguished board-certified neurologists and four accomplished radiologists. Together, they provide world-class expertise in image analysis, neurological diagnosis, and neurosurgical care. AMC has been at the forefront of veterinary diagnostic imaging with an MRI on-site for 20+ years, establishing itself as a pioneer in utilizing advanced imaging in veterinary medicine for treatment planning.
