What you need to know
Enhanced performance
Compared to a standard MRI of the same magnetic field strength, the MAGNETOM Vida is faster and produces higher quality images. This improves our ability to make an accurate diagnosis. In fact, physicians using this technology see vital structures with a level of clarity never seen before. And the faster speed means a shorter testing time for you to stay in the machine.
Personalized imaging
Traditional MRI scans of the chest and abdomen often require patients to hold their breath for long periods of time. Not only is it uncomfortable, but it’s simply not possible for some patients. To overcome this challenge, the MAGNETOM Vida uses state-of-the-art BioMatrix Technology. It can detect individual breathing patterns and lung volumes, adapting to each patient’s unique differences. The result is less breath holding during the exam. It also leads to fewer patients needing to be rescanned.
Improved comfort
The MAGNETOM Vida was designed with patient comfort in mind, featuring a wide bore opening that allows for improved airflow. It can accommodate patients weighing up to 550 pounds. The machine also has a quiet scanning mode, which reduces the loud banging noises often heard with traditional MRI machines. The MAGNETOM Vida also projects relaxing images for the patient to see. You can choose the colors and themes you find most soothing. You also may bring a movie to watch during the scan or listen to your own music.

Pioneering the future of MRI technology
As the only MRI center in the state offering the MAGNETOM Vida, Overlook Medical Center has established itself as a leader in MRI innovation. This technology may allow us to join select clinical trials conducted by large academic institutions that further the progress of medicine. Often giving participants access to new treatments before they become widely available, research studies offer families new hope for improved health well into the future.
