This new InVision system further
expands and complements the IMRIS
product portfolio by offering the latest innovations
in 1.5T MRI. "
IMRIS custom designs innovative intraoperative
MRI systems specifically for imaging
during neurosurgical procedures. The
theatres help deliver timely information
to clinicians, providing real-time visualization
to assist in decision-making and
cryogen-free systems. SSI magnets are used in commercial MRI
systems throughout the world.

enhance precision in treatment. The company makes a range
of surgical theatre configurations which incorporate various
Siemens MRI scanners ranging from 1.5T to 3T MAGNETOM
models.
The acquisition of Superconducting
Systems, Inc. (SSI)
of Billerica, Massachusetts
came in 2022. SSI designs
and develops cryogen-free
(liquid helium free) superconducting
magnets for medical
and research applications.
With funding by the U.S.
National Institute of Health,
SSI has been collaborating
with research divisions of
major Boston-area scientific
institutions to demonstrate
the viability and benefits of its
" We are excited to become part of IMRIS and help develop innovative
cryogen-free magnets that can power next generation
point-of-care MRI systems, " said SSI CEO Dr. Shahin Pourrahimi
at the time. " IMRIS provides development and commercialization
expertise that will enable SSI magnets to offer clinical value in a
number of medical applications where mid-field intra-procedural
MRI can have significant impact on patient outcomes. "
In October 2023, IMRIS
relocated its headquarters
to a new, modern
facility in Chaska,
Minnesota that includes
a customized buildout
housing multiple IMRIS
surgical imaging suite
labs. The fully functional
multi-room MRI theatres
enable technology
development, system
validation and training
resources for new and existing IMRIS technologies.
IMRIS also designs and manufactures proprietary head fixation
devices, imaging coils and operating room tables. Its products
are sold globally to clinical centers in the neurosurgical, spinal,
cardiovascular and orthopedic markets. For more info, see www.
