Presentations to Include Data on Dedicated Head-Only Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanner Intended for Use at the Point-of-Care

Toronto – Synaptive Medical, a global pioneer in automated surgical planning and robotics, today announced they will present 10 abstracts at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine’s (ISMRM) 27th Annual Meeting in Montreal, QC, Canada from May 11 – 16.

Synaptive’s abstracts to be presented at this year’s ISMRM meeting will showcase the results of software and hardware research that has been generated over the last six years, focusing on the needs of accessibility to MRI systems for imaging at the point-of-care and how to overcome the barriers that exist with current technology. Data presented will outline how applying flexible and sustainable system architecture and software algorithms for reconstruction of scanned images, along with implementing high performance system components, can make MR imaging more accessible, such as being able to provide MRI at point-of-care. This feature is particularly critical for acute neurologic assessments.

Synaptive is committed to developing MR innovations, while also integrating and optimizing their fully integrated suite of technologies, and will be available at Booth #302 during the conference:
