GE Medical Systems has added the University of California, San Francisco and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center to its network of research partners involved in the company’s 7-tesla MR project. The Waukesha, WI-based firm delivered its first 7-tesla system to the National Institutes of Health last December, and initial clinical images are expected to be acquired there this spring.
In other news, GE said that a 9.4-tesla superconducting magnet designed and built for the University of Illinois at Chicago has reached a field strength of 9.405 tesla. The magnet is currently being tested at GE's development facility in Abingdon, U.K.
