MRI system lifespan is a globally relevant topic. In some countries, lifetimes reach 14 years [1], whereas COCIR recommends that less than 10% be older than 10 years [2]. About 28% of European MRI systems surpass this age [2]. Hospital Nuestra Senora del Rosario in Madrid faced issues due to an aging system. A Philips SmartPath upgrade improved image quality and scanning speed sustainably and cost-effectively, avoiding full replacement and overcoming financial and operational hurdles to ensure quality patient care.

- 00:06 COCIR 2023 equipment age density
- 01:07 A solution aligned with his philosophy and needs
- 02:24 high gain gradient
- 03:13 benefits for the patient
We needed a cost-effective solution that would simultaneously meet our needs and expectations.
