SyntheticMR AB and Siemens Healthineers have announced a cooperation agreement, making the SyMRI software packages from SyntheticMR compatible with MR scanners from Siemens, and available to their customers.

SyMRI — which offers multiple, adjustable contrast images and quantitative data from a single scan — is offered in three different packages. One for improved workflow, one for automatic decision support in brain tissue imaging, and one for exporting quantitative T1, T2, and PD maps of the brain.

The SyMRI post processing packages will be offered as an option, and will be compatible with most of the MRI systems available from Siemens Healthineers starting 2017.

“I am very pleased to be able to present Siemens Healthineers, one of the globally market-leading MRI vendors, as a partner to SyntheticMR. Through this cooperation, we can now offer the clinical benefits of SyMRI also to Siemens customers, expanding our available market significantly. I look forward to continued collaboration that both companies will benefit from”, said Stefan Tell, CEO of SyntheticMR, in a statement.

SyMRI is a CE-marked product and SyntheticMR is a Stockholm, Sweden-based company.
