Canopy Imaging Brings Cutting-Edge, Sustainable MRI Technology to Ormiston
Canopy Imaging is proud to announce the installation of the MAGNETOM Vida Fit, a state-of-the-art 3T MRI system from Siemens Healthineers, at its Ormiston Canopy Imaging Clinic in Auckland. This achievement not only provides quicker, more precise scans for patients but also delivers on our commitment to sustainable healthcare.
How does upgrading Canopy Imaging MRI technology help reduce environmental impact and support sustainability efforts?
Canopy Imaging are dedicated to minimising environmental impact as evidenced by our Toitu Certification. Traditionally the entire system would be removed and replaced, whereas the FIT process cleverly utilises the existing core magnet, with an infield rebuild of the system to the latest technology. This approach significantly reduces waste, conserves essential resources, and lowers the carbon footprint typically associates with traditional MRI replacements. The MAGNETOM Vida Fit can also reduce energy consumption by up to 40% compared to conventional MRI systems, further strengthening the clinic’s sustainability efforts.
“By reusing key components of our previous system, we’ve significantly reduced waste and emissions,” said Toni Sinclair at Canopy Imaging. “It’s a smarter way to modernise, better for patients, better for clinicians and better for the planet.”
How does the MAGNETOM Vida Fit improve imaging and quality patient comfort?
The MAGNETOM Vida Fit also brings advanced AI-driven imaging and a patient-friendly design, offering exceptional diagnostic capabilities across neurology, oncology, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular care. Features such as BioMatrix and Deep Resolve ensure consistent, high-quality results with reduced scan times, whilst the latest coil technology enhances patient comfort.
By adopting this sustainable upgrade path, Canopy Imaging is among the first in New Zealand to align with global healthcare trends toward greener, more efficient medical technology, proving that innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand.
