Elekta releases new MEG system

At this week’s 16th annual meeting of the Organization of Human Brain Mapping in Barcelona, Spain, Elekta introduced its new magnetoencephalography (MEG) system, Elekta Neuromag TRIUX.

The system offers a new connector panel, a gantry that allows clinicians and researchers to conduct MEG measurements with the patient in an upright position, said the Stockholm-based company. According to Elekta, the system will be available as a turnkey system or as a hardware/software upgrade for certain Elekta Neuromag models.
