Customized MRI Consoles
NRC researchers have designed and constructed MRI consoles, easily customizable for specific, novel applications.
An MRI console houses the “brains” that control an MR imaging system. The console comprises the control electronics, the computers, and the software, including the user interface.
The first demonstration of the NRC console technology, outside its laboratories in Winnipeg, was the MRV installation at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon. Since that installation, researchers and research/commercial projects have expressed considerable interest, particularly in the area of multi-modality imaging – the combination of MRI with other imaging devices in a single package.
Commercialization
Product prototyping is a unique service provided by NRC. The cross-disciplinary product prototyping team is able to take devices produced by researchers and turn them into commercial products. The combination of scientists and engineers working together is the key to the success of this type of project.
