Installation under way

 

Installation of a brand-new Magnus gradient system is under way in Brigham and Women's hospital in Boston. This was funded by the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (link to grant news). Prof. Westin, the PI on the right in the picture, indicated that the users will be split half and half between clinical and physics/engineering research. Brigham and Women's hospital has many campuses across the area. The Fenwood location, where the 2023 neuroimaging conference was held, had received the country's second clinical 7T MRI machine from Siemens in 2017. (That's why the name may sound familiar to those involved in the 7T commotion in Korea.)
