Satt Sud-Est has licensed technology relating to metamaterial-based antennae for very powerful MRI scanners to Multiwave Innovation.

Satt Sud-Est, a regional tech transfer office for institutions in the southeast of France, licensed antennae technology to Multiwave Innovation, which designs antennae for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, on Tuesday.

The licence relates to metamaterial-based radio frequency antennae for ultra-high field MRI scanners. These scanners boast up to 7 Tesla – which refers to the strength of the magnetic field they can generate and which equals 140,000 the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field.

The metamaterials-based antennae, developed at…
