Siemens Healthineers has installed its Magnetom Free.Max reduced-helium MRI scanner at King's College London (KCL).

The system has a field strength of 0.55 tesla and an 80-cm bore and requires less than 1 liter of liquid helium, and it can be used outside of a traditional hospital environment. The system also makes use of artificial intelligence for automation.

KCL has an existing relationship with Siemens Healthineers with research projects utilizing other MRI systems including 1.5-tesla, 3-tesla, and 7-tesla MRI systems from the company.

Ultrasound longitudinal view of distal biceps brachii tendon tear (a). A month later, MRI fat-suppressed proton-density sagittal (b), axial (c), and forearm supinated (FABS) position (d) sequences were performed. Complete full-thickness tear of the distal tendon of the short head of the biceps brachii is visible, with retracted and thickened torn end at the MTJ (white arrow). Some isolated fibers of the partially torn long-head tendon are visible in the radial tuberosity (orange arrow).
