The delivery of Elekta Neuromag is part of a collaboration contract signed between three parties: Le Commissariat a l’Energie Atomique (CEA), L’Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale (INSERM) both French state-owned research entities with scientific, technical and industrial activity, and Elekta Neuromag Oy, part of the Elekta Group.
The MEG system will be installed during spring of 2008 at NeuroSpin, which will host up to 150 research scientists and engineers from CEA and INSERM with a large number of visiting groups. In addition to the Elekta Neuromag MEG system, NeuroSpin will host four cutting-edge Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems entirely dedicated to neuro-imaging research projects.
Olof Sanden, executive vice president, Europe at Elekta, said: “We see this as a major opportunity to work with Europe’s top scientists in this field, enabling us to get further ahead of the competing MEG systems on the market.”
