Compact MRI manufacturer Aspect Imaging and MRI developer Bruker announced they will cooperate to manufacture and distribute compact MRI systems.
Aspect will provide its patented technology to Bruker for use in Bruker's Icon compact high-performance 1-tesla MRI system and will stop selling its own M2 system directly to the preclinical market. The Icon scanner will incorporate Aspect's front-end components.
This new arrangement will enable Aspect to focus on its core clinical and advanced industrial market for the sale of the M2 platform.
Aspect's preclinical team will support the transition of existing M2 customers to Bruker and will continue to work with Bruker's Icon team, the companies stated.
