The world’s population will grow by 30 % to

9.6 billion by 2050, with life expectancy
increasing by 10 %.¹ The future of healthcare
may lie in precision medicine: the right treat-
ment for the right patient at the right point in
time. To pave the way for precision medicine in
MRI, one of the greatest challenges – patient
variability – needs to be addressed.

Outstanding shim
technology
MAGNETOM Sola uses passive
and active shimming: three linear
channels (first order) and a
higher-order shim with five
non-linear channels (second order).
This technology provides a high
homogeneity of the magnetic
field and excellent image quality.
