 Tim proves it
Around the world, Tim (Total imaging matrix) technology has
become the standard in MRI. With thousands of installations,
Tim is proving it every day, with unprecedented flexibility,
accuracy, and speed.

Let Tim prove it to you.

Tim: A revolution in flexibility.

Select exams, not coils.

• Create a total imaging matrix through the combination of up to 25 seamlessly integrated coil elements
and 8 or 16 independent RF channels

• Scale the matrix to the desired anatomy and the individual patient, with flexible combinations of up to
four different coils

• Streamline workflow with AutoCoil Detect and AutoCoil Select

 Tim: A revolution in accuracy.
Local and total.

• Unleash the high SNR only local coils

can provide, using Matrix coils

• Perform exams without repositioning

patients or coils, including wholeCNS,
wholeABDOMEN, and peripheral MRA
studies

Tim: A revolution in speed.

Parallel in all directions.

• Achieve unlimited parallel imaging,

from head to toe, front to back, and
side to side

• Reduce acquisition times with PAT

(Parallel Acquisition Techniques)
factors up to 8

optimal position, the isocenter of the magnet

• Speed patient set-up and throughput thanks to this unique,

integrated design

• Gain the flexibility of using the IsoCenter Matrix as a spine

coil and in flexible combinations with anterior coils

• Works as a 140 cm coil without patient repositioning in

multi step examinations

Focus Shoulder Array brings off-center images into focus

• Capture pristine off-center imaging with our innovative

shoulder array

• Improve speed and accuracy with our 6-element,

PAT-compatible coil
