Description

Synopsis: The Iseult project started in 2001 and is a collaborative effort involving CEA and the University of Freiburg in academics, Guerbet, Siemens Healthineers and Bruker Biospin as industrial partners. One central aspect of the project has been the design by CEA of a whole-body magnet of 11.7T field strength with a 90- cm wide bore. After nearly 20 years of research and development, prototyping, integration and tests, first images have been acquired with this unique MRI scanner. Some key validation results are presented here.
