Siemens GOKnee3D

In December, 2017 at an annual conference of society of radiologists North America (RSNA) Siemens Healthineers submitted the application for MPT-scanners GOKnee3D which helps to reduce time necessary for complex diagnostic survey of a knee joint. The standard research of this joint takes about 20 minutes whereas application of the diagnostic application can accelerate this process twice.

GOKnee3D reduces time spent for complex diagnostic survey of a knee joint, (2017)

GOKnee3D allows to receive three-dimensional images with high resolution which can be estimated in all possible planes. As the producer notes, survey of a knee joint takes the third place among all types of MRT-researches (11% of all scannings are the share of it), and such increase in efficiency of a research will help to reduce time of survey and waiting of patients in queue

Receiving a space image became possible thanks to the Caipirinha Space protocol which provides higher scanning speed and optimal reconstruction of the image. The Siemens Healthineers company was engaged in development and clinical justification of this equipment together with John Hopkins's University in Baltimore, the USA.

GOKnee3D provides comprehensive assessment of internal damages of a knee joint. Completely automated Caipirinha Space protocol provides high-quality MRT-visualization in only ten minutes. High resolution of images helps to visualize anomalies with an unusual accuracy practically in any plane. Jan Fritz, the doctor of medical sciences working in John Hopkins's university

Thanks to special coils for a knee and automatic adaptation of a viewing field using this application it is possible to receive a space image of a knee joint at the minimum involvement of personnel. The GOKnee3D application is available to the Siemens Healthineers scanners, the Magnetom Skyra 3T and Magnetom Aera 1.5T systems.^[1]
