NordicNeuroLab, the leading global producer of medical equipment for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies, is thrilled to announce a strategic commercial partnership with Gold Standard Phantoms, a renowned manufacturer of high-quality MRI phantoms. This collaboration will empower NordicNeuroLab to expand its portfolio by offering Gold Standard Phantoms' exceptional MRI phantoms to its customers worldwide.

Quality assurance is a crucial part of MR scanner performance assessment. Phantoms are used to gather data about scanner stability and other metrics which inform the users about potential image quality issues. This is particularly important for techniques such as fMRI, where the sequences are very sensitive to changes in scanner performance. Tracking image quality quantitatively over time gives confidence that the images produced during clinical scans are as reliable as possible. Gold Standard Phantoms is widely recognized for its commitment to producing industry-leading MRI phantoms that meet the highest standards of accuracy and precision.

As part of this partnership, NordicNeuroLab will now provide Gold Standard Phantoms' extensive range of MRI phantoms, which are designed not only for functional MRI (fMRI) but also for other specialized MR imaging techniques. These phantoms are vital tools for researchers, clinicians, and technicians working in MRI research, clinical radiology and neuroscience.

"We are excited to join forces with Gold Standard Phantoms to offer our customers access to their top-tier MRI phantoms," said Thomas Omdahl, CEO at NordicNeuroLab. "This partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to ensure continued adoption of fMRI for clinical practice and will enable us to deliver even more comprehensive and reliable products to our clients."

George Georgitsis, Director of Business Development for Gold Standard Phantoms, expressed enthusiasm about this collaboration, stating, "This is a great opportunity for Gold Standard Phantoms to enter the clinical market, as NordicNeuroLab is an established leader in providing MRI equipment and services to hospitals worldwide. NordicNeuroLab defines the field of functional MR imaging, offering integrated hardware and software solutions for clinical fMRI, and we are excited that our phantoms are now part of their product and service catalog."
