This article addresses claustrophobia in #MRI patients and presents strategies to improve the overall patient experience. With its ultra-wide 80 cm bore, the 0.55T MAGNETOM Free.Max scanner is designed to create a less confining environment and enhance comfort. Its compact design and shorter magnet length allow for more flexible patient positioning. Additional measures such as using Contour coils, music during the scan, and cushions for positioning can further increase comfort. The MAGNETOM Free.Max Head/Neck coil has a 12-channel design with 12 integrated pre-amplifiers with three rungs of 4 elements. The coil is tilted to 9 degrees to give patients the feeling of lying on a pillow. The upper part, with 6 elements, can be easily removed. The lower part, also with 6 elements, is usable without the upper part for highly claustrophobic patients. Even with the upper part removed, the AutoAlign option still works. Deep learning-based image reconstruction with Deep Resolve Boost helps denoise the image and achieve good quality. Protocol adjustments, such as selecting prescan normalize, increasing the FOV, and changing the iPAT factor and average, are recommended to increase SNR when scanning without the upper part of the Head/Neck coil.

Establishing an MRI-Guided Intervention Service Using a 0.55T System: Initial Experiences and Workflow Development By Jan Robert Kroeger, M.D.; et al. (Department of Radiology, Neuroradiology and Nuclear Medicine, Johannes Wesling Klinikum Minden, University Hospital of Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany). Interventional radiology plays a crucial role in modern diagnostics and therapeutics. While computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound (US) guidance are well established for percutaneous needle-based procedures, certain clinical scenarios present challenges. The radiology department at Johannes Wesling Klinikum Minden has a robust program for CT-guided interventions, performing approximately 700 procedures annually, including biopsies, drainages, ablations, and pain management injections. Despite this experience, specific limitations were identified that prompted improvements. In some cases, lesions that were clearly visible on diagnostic #MRI were poorly or not visualized under CT guidance, hindering successful biopsy. Additionally, concerns were raised regarding cumulative radiation exposure, particularly in younger patients undergoing procedures like injection therapy for back pain, highlighted the need for non-ionizing imaging alternatives. MRI guidance offers potential solutions by providing superior soft tissue contrast without ionizing radiation. As a result, an MRI-guided intervention service was established “de novo”. This manuscript presents the initial experiences, challenges encountered, workflow development, and key learnings during the implementation phase using a 0.55T MAGNETOM Free.Max system.
