Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital introduces Magnetom Simax for the first time in Korea's medical institution...Increase diagnostic accuracy
Jul 28, 2025
Ewha Mokdong Hospital (Hospital Director Kim Han-soo) is the first medical institution in Korea to have a state-of-the-art MRI equipment called MAGNETOM Cima.X)' will be introduced and will be operated from August 11th.
Siemens Healthineers' Magnetom Sima X is capable of taking high-definition images with the latest MRI equipment, which can even check the condition of microvessels.
Magnetom Sima X, which has built a gradient system with a strong gradient magnetic field of 200mT/m with a 3.33 times larger amplitude compared to the previous model 'Magnetom Vida', and a rotation rate of 200T/m/s, enables faster and more accurate diagnosis in ▲brain and blood vessels ▲ vertebrae ▲ musculoskeletal ▲ abdominal ▲ urinary system.
In particular, it is possible to take images for each thin slice in complex clinical areas such as head, cervical, back pain, pelvic and abdominal diseases, thereby securing clear image images.
Another advantage is that the efficiency of the test is increased by being able to grasp the breathing pattern, which is a bio-signal, in real time as soon as a patient lies on the table through the BioMatrix Sensor. With the ability to correct movement, even infants who are in critical care or difficult to administer sedatives can effectively correct movements that occurred after the test without sedatives.
Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital plans to maximize test accuracy and patient convenience through the introduction of Magnetom Simax.
Professor Kim Eun-hee of the Department of Imaging Medicine at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital said "The introduction of the Magnetom Sima X MRI system has increased the accuracy of the diagnosis by being able to clearly identify microscopic structures such as brain nerves that were difficult to image."
"Idaemokdong Hospital will continue to introduce cutting-edge and latest medical devices to provide patient-specific medical services," said Kim Han-soo, head of Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital. "The introduction of the latest medical devices will ultimately help Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital present new standards for patient-centered care."
