  • Apr - May 2016. The Cirrus Open 0.2T installed at the Institute of Bioimaging, University of Bordeaux (Institut de Bio-Imagerie Université de Bordeaux).

Dr. Eric Thiaudier, the head of the Institute of Bioimaging, University of Bordeaux, ordered installation of the system. Dr. Thiaudier leads innovative research regarding mapping of enzymatic activities in small animals using dynamic polarization imaging. MRI-Tech Canada Inc. and MRI-TECH Sp. z o.o. staff carried out the installation. The standard Cirrus Open 0.2T system was used. However the magnetic field was lowered to the exact value of 0.1935T (+/- 0.25%) following the stringent customer requirement.
