Company Announcements

Aspect Imaging expanded its cooperation with Bruker in April for manufacturing and distribution. Aspect will provide Bruker with technology for use in its Icon 1 T MRI system. Aspect will now focus on its clinical and industrial markets and no longer sell its M2 system directly to the preclinical market. It will refer those prospective customers to the Bruker Icon, which uses Aspect’s front-end components. Aspect will continue to develop products for the preclinical market, working closely with Bruker.
