The quality of an MRI scan is determined by two important factors: the strength of the static magnetic field the scanner generates and the power of its gradient coil. If you want to significantly improve MRI today, it’s important to take a closer look at the individual components of the technology. That’s exactly what our engineers did – they developed a completely new technical principle for MR imaging and made it manufacturable.

For years, developers studied how to best increase the strength of the magnetic gradient field. One of their dilemmas was that increasing the magnetic gradient field limits the rampup speed of the gradient’s strength – but some applications need both.
