ASG Superconductors (ASG) and Siemens Healthineers signed a partnership agreement to synergistically develop UHF MRI systems of unprecedented dependability for ground-breaking brain research.
The first project under the partnership shall be the delivery of a 10.5T MRI system to a University in China. The magnet will be built and comprehensively tested at ASG’s premises in Genova. Upon its arrival in Hefei, Siemens Healthineers is responsible for the integration and installation of the system.
“In the past, customers looking for a system above 7T had to order the magnet and the electrical integration separately,” says Arthur Kaindl, head of magnetic resonance at Siemens Healthineers. “With the new partnership, we are happy to offer these UHF systems on a turnkey basis for the first time. This will lead to a tremendous improvement in project execution for our customers and take a decisive step towards pushing the limits of MRI beyond 7T.”•
