IMAGING TECHNOLOGY ABRUZZO

ITA has been established in 2006, as a spin-off of the University of L'Aquila, to set up niche products in the field of magnetic resonance imaging. The company has worked mainly in the field of applied research in projects financed by the EU community and by the Italian Minister of Education. In this context, it has developed hardware and software for MRI. The company operates in the Industrial Area of Pile, SS 17 L'Aquila, Italy. Most of the components that compose the scanner are built in the... same area. The system uses a magnet geometry that reduces the cost of a magnet and cryogenic techniques for the receiving coils. This allows achieving the sensitivity of MRI units operated at a much higher field. It is assembled using components designed by ITA and built by external firms under ITA supervision. For the Italian market, ITA will set up a service of long-term rental in which the user will not buy the apparatus but just pay a percentage of the analysis revenues whose amount will depend on their number.More
