IND 17 - MRI and sustainability: can they coexist?
MRI is a valuable tool that touches many facets of modern medicine. Its ability to provide insights along the entire patient care pathway influences care decisions for innumerable patients every day. MRI is also one of the most energy intensive medical imaging devices to design, manufacture, and operate. It relies on increasingly scarce resources and consumes large amounts of electricity. Its complexity in operation requires highly trained staff. What levers exist in making MRI more sustainable? How can MRI become more sustainable without compromising on the quality of care? What new technologies can make a measurable impact now on MRI operations? Learn about how Siemens Healthineers can make an impact on making MRI now – and in the future – a part of sustainable radiology.
