The New-Gen MRI 3 Tesla uses the Integrating Deep Learning AI technology to produce significantly sharper medical images while reducing examination times by up to 50% for more responsive patient care.
In its ongoing efforts to enhance the quality of healthcare services and strengthen the trust of the public and specialist doctor partners, Bethsaida Hospital has officially introduced its latest diagnostic facility innovation: the AI-powered 3.0 Tesla (3T) SIGNA™ Hero MRI Scanning System. The arrival of this advanced technology from GE HealthCare places Bethsaida Hospital at the forefront of medical digitalisation, particularly in delivering faster, more precise, and more accurate diagnoses for critical cases.
As the demand for precise diagnoses continues to rise for complex conditions such as neurological disorders (stroke and brain tumours), cardiac diseases, orthopaedic conditions, and oncology (cancer), efficiency and image clarity have become determining factors. Management’s strategic decision to introduce this latest-generation 3T MRI system reflects the hospital’s strong commitment to continuously upgrading its services and offerings in order to remain outstanding and competitive.
The Director of Bethsaida Hospital Gading Serpong, dr. Margareth Aryani Santoso, MARS, explained that the introduction of the SIGNA™ Hero MRI 3 Tesla forms part of the hospital’s commitment to providing high-technology diagnostic services with modern, consumer-oriented healthcare standards for the people of Tangerang and surrounding areas.
“We continue to strengthen our medical facilities through the utilisation of the latest diagnostic technologies that support accuracy, speed, and patient safety. The presence of the SIGNA™ Hero MRI 3 Tesla further reinforces Bethsaida Hospital Gading Serpong’s capabilities in addressing a wide range of clinical needs, particularly complex cases such as neurological disorders (stroke and brain tumours), cardiac diseases, orthopaedic conditions, oncology (cancer), and other services requiring highly accurate and precise medical imaging,” said dr. Margareth.
In addition to its clinical advantages, Bethsaida Hospital is also addressing one of the primary challenges associated with MRI procedures, namely patient discomfort and anxiety during examinations. The SIGNA™ Hero MRI 3 Tesla features a wider 70 cm bore (scanning tunnel), providing a more comfortable examination experience with reduced feelings of anxiety or claustrophobia. The new system is enhanced by Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based technologies through AIR™ Recon DL and Sonic DL™, capable of producing sharper imaging quality, improving diagnostic accuracy, and accelerating image acquisition processes, including for organs with high levels of movement such as the heart.
On the same occasion, dr. Thio Ananda Steven, Sp. Rad., Radiology Specialist at Bethsaida Hospital Gading Serpong, explained, “With the AI-supported MRI 3 Tesla, imaging results can be obtained with greater detail and more efficient examination times without compromising patient comfort. This helps us conduct evaluations with greater precision while also supporting clinicians in determining the most appropriate treatment steps for patients.”
The MRI 3 Tesla examination supports the evaluation of various medical conditions that require highly detailed imaging. In neurology, this technology can assist in assessing conditions such as stroke, brain tumours, epilepsy, neurological disorders, pinched nerves, and spinal abnormalities. In cardiology and vascular care, the MRI 3 Tesla can help evaluate heart structure and function, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, valve disorders, signs of previous heart attacks, and certain congenital heart abnormalities. Meanwhile, in orthopaedics, the technology is beneficial for assessing joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, cartilage, sports injuries, torn knee ligaments, meniscus injuries, shoulder pain, knee pain, and back pain,” explained dr. Steven.
Director of Sales, Marketing & Business Development at Bethsaida Healthcare, Iwan A. Setiawan, stated that this continued investment in advanced medical technology is expected to further strengthen the working ecosystem within Bethsaida Healthcare (Bethsaida Hospital Gading Serpong, Bethsaida Hospital Serang, Bethsaida Clinic, and Seraphim Medical Center). With globally recognised and reliable diagnostic equipment now available, management remains fully committed to providing specialist doctors with the best instruments in support of patient safety. The visual accuracy delivered by the AI-based 3T MRI will facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration among doctors in developing the most effective treatment plans, enabling patients to access high-quality healthcare services without needing to seek treatment abroad.
CEO of GE HealthCare Indonesia, Kriswanto Trimoeljo, stated that the presence of SIGNA™ Hero at Bethsaida Hospital Gading Serpong demonstrates a shared commitment to supporting the improvement of radiology services in Indonesia.
“We appreciate Bethsaida Hospital Gading Serpong’s decision to adopt the SIGNA™ Hero MRI 3 Tesla technology. This system is equipped with AI technologies such as Sonic DL and AIR Recon DL, which can significantly improve image quality, reduce examination times by up to 50%, and provide a better examination experience for patients,” said Kriswanto.
In addition to supporting examination efficiency, this technology is also capable of producing images up to 60% sharper compared to conventional technology. With these capabilities, medical professionals can obtain more detailed imaging information to support more precise diagnoses and treatment planning.
The introduction of the AI-based MRI 3 Tesla marks another milestone in Bethsaida Hospital Gading Serpong’s journey towards delivering increasingly modern, integrated, and patient-oriented healthcare services. Through the combination of professional medical personnel, advanced diagnostic facilities, and continuously developed service systems, Bethsaida Hospital Gading Serpong hopes to provide a safer, more comfortable, and more reliable healthcare experience for the community.
With the arrival of the SIGNA™ Hero MRI 3 Tesla from GE HealthCare, Bethsaida Hospital Gading Serpong further strengthens its commitment to meeting the needs of today’s patients through services that are precise, fast, safe, and patient-centred.
