Siemens Healthcare will be providing three high-field MRI systems to Maastricht University in the Netherlands.
Siemens will install a 3-tesla, 7-tesla, and 9.4-tesla scanner for use at Brains Unlimited, a research project by the Maastricht Brain Imaging Center under the leadership of Dr. Rainer Goebel. The Maastricht researchers aim to gain more insight into the causes of multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and tumor growth.
In addition, research will also be conducted into the causes of behavioral changes and disorders such as dyslexia and ADHD, Siemens said.
