Magnetoencephalography is a powerful and versatile functional brain imaging technique. It’s known for ground-breaking neuroscience research, neurosurgical planning and many emerging indications. Despite the promise, the basic sensing technology has not evolved significantly in decades.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
The York Instruments MEG design has a unique changeable front-end sensor interface and state-of-the art electronics back-end. It has software that is user extendable for the research environment, while still offering a safe clinical environment for standard protocols.
THE SENSOR
The magnetic field sensors are the heart of every MEG and its quality dictates the usefulness of the instrument. York Instruments uses the HyQuid™ sensor, which is much more sensitive and has a lower noise floor than the traditional SQUID used in all previous MEG systems.
NEWEST TECHNOLOGY
Available cryogenics, sensors, electronic components, circuits and software have all been dramatically improved in recent years. York Instruments has taken advantage of this opportunity to design a revolutionary new MEG system that is highly modular, takes advantage of modern advances and yet has the ability to keep pace with changes in technology going forward.
What Makes us
Different?
The York Instruments MEG will define what is state-of-the-art. The new MEG is an unprecedented combination of modern sensors, cryogenics, electronics and software.
The MEG
Advantage
MEG is a non-invasive functional brain imaging technique with excellent temporal and spatial resolution. There are a host of accepted and emerging applications…
York Instruments
first order from UTSW
York Instruments has received its first order for a MEGSCAN™ instrument from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. The system will be installed later this year; it will be used for research as well as clinical evaluations.
The York Difference
The new MEG is an unprecedented combination of modern sensors, cryogenics, electronics and software. It offers highly improved data quality and accuracy; opens the door to previously unachievable applications; lowers operating cost; and increases versatility.
The York Instruments MEG is more than simply state-of-the-art. Be prepared.
