New Swedish method for quantification of brain structures
After having evaluated SyntheticMR’s software in connection with follow-up of MS patients, Mattias Vågberg, MD, PhD student, and Anders Svenningsson, MD, Associate Professor, Department of Neurology, Norrlands University Hospital, wrote in BestPractice:
“In our opinion, the presented results show that SyMap can measure brain atrophy in a reliable manner. This makes it possible to bring clinically highly interesting data, which previously only has been available for research purposes, into the clinic.”
“The SyMap method provides an opportunity to actually start putting precise figures on what we in the clinic so far have had to make rough estimates of.”

SyntheticMRs software used for monitoring of treatment efficacy in MS at additional hospitals
The medical imaging company SyntheticMR AB, a subsidiary of Accelerator Nordic AB, has, through their partner Sectra, received another order for their magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) software from Västerbotten County in Sweden.
The software, SyMRITM, which is integrated in the hospital’s radiology IT solutions from Sectra, was taken into clinical use at Umeå University Hospital in Västerbotten in 2011 to monitor the treatment efficacy of multiple sclerosis (MS). It is now taken into clinical practice at two more hospitals in the region, Skellefteå and Lycksele.
”In Umeå we use SyMRI for the majority of our neuro exams. Now we want to expand to include more of our MS-patients across the entire region. The data that we collect with SyMRI on MS-patients goes to the national Swedish MS-register in order to add to our knowledge about the development of MS”, says Dr Richard Birgander, Neuroradiologist at Umeå University Hospital.

SyntheticMR signs evaluation agreement with leading MRI supplier
SyntheticMR AB, a subsidiary of Accelerator Nordic AB, has signed an evaluation agreement with a leading MRI system supplier regarding evaluation of its software SyMRI at selected clinics. With the evaluation, the MRI supplier wants to assess the opportunity to sell SyMRI as an add-on option together with the MRI supplier’s MRI systems.
As SyntheticMR has communicated earlier, the company is currently in discussions with leading MRI system suppliers regarding joint commercialization of SyMRI, SyntheticMR’s MRI software for improved efficiency and better decision support. After a positive response from an initial internal appraisal, one of the leading MRI suppliers in question has now signed an agreement regarding a number of evaluation licenses of SyMRI in order to further assess the software’s capabilities at selected customer sites.
