The first Siemens MRI system bearing the MAGNETOM name was installed at a customer site in 1983. So should we say it has already been 30 years, or just 30 years, since then? At any rate, it’s certainly a good time to take a look back. This retrospective shows how impressively this technology has developed within the Siemens group of companies, from the early days to the first commercial steps and all the way to today’s technology and market leadership. Bernd Ohnesorge CEO der Business Unit Magnetic Resonance Siemens Healthcare Inventive spirit, belief in what we are doing, and sheer endurance have also definitely been important factors in getting us to where we are today. Employees who were there at the outset are still sharing their experiences with younger employees today, keeping the spirit of 1983 alive. One thing that I believe is crucial is that we have always stood – and continue to stand – together as a close-knit team. I’d like to thank each and every one of us for that. The best way to predict the future is to invent it. Many innovations from Siemens have changed the world. With magnetic resonance imaging, we have been unlocking new possibilities for 30 years now – things that used to be mere dreams are reality today. Many people have helped to build this success, from the highly dedicated employees who have pitched in right from the start to our wonderful cooperation partners and my esteemed predecessors as heads of the Magnetic Resonance Business Unit (also see the overview on page 43). Theodore Edward Hook, 1825 All of the technological developments you will see in this book have helped make MAGNETOM what it is today. To assert our current position, we rely on four important pillars: Our integrated Tim coil technology, our unique Dot scanning software, our applications, which continue to set trends in imaging, and naturally also the design of our MRI systems, which makes scans increasingly efficient for our customers and increasingly pleasant for patients. But don’t let me keep you any longer – jump right in, and enjoy discovering the history of this fascinating technology.
