Thanks partly to its wide-bore design, our 0.55T MAGNETOM Free.Max is ideal for examining claustrophobic or extremely overweight patients and is very popular among these populations.

Particularly when it comes to examining patients with musculoskeletal implants, we find our lower-field system to be at a great advantage over the high-field systems. This means that diagnosing pathologies following implants is no longer limited to Dual Energy CT scanning: MR imaging can now supply crucial additional information for these cases.
