RSNA 2024: Magnetica wraps the year with another successful event
Estimated reading time: 6 minutes
Quick summary: Join us as we share our experience at RSNA 2024, where we showcased our latest high-resolution MR images. Magnetica celebrates a year of substantial progress, garnering support from the MSK (musculoskeletal) community as we step closer to commercializing our prototype 3T MR system for dedicated MSK extremity imaging.
Magnetica’s engaging presence during RSNA 2024
Magnetica ends 2024 on a high, culminating with our presence during RSNA 2024, where we received a very positive reception from our peers.
This year, the annual RSNA (Radiological Society of North America) meeting and exhibition was held from December 1st to 4th at McCormick Place in Chicago. Confirming its claim to be “the most important week in radiology”, the exhibition attracted over 38,000 registrants and nearly 750 exhibitors.
Readers may remember that as first-time exhibitors at RSNA 2023, we chose to unveil our prototype compact 3T MSK MRI system during the event. We were delighted to showcase it again at RSNA 2024. This time, however, our presence was bolstered by a new collection of high-quality, high-resolution wrist MR images (in industry-standard DICOM format). The images we showcased during RSNA 2024 were a progression from those we achieved during our September 2024 volunteer sessions and captured the attention and recognition of professionals visiting our booth.
MRI scan images showcased during interactions with MSK industry experts
From the first day of RSNA 2024, Antonio Augello, Peter Penfold and Duncan Stovell were met with a consistent stream of visitors to the Magnetica booth, demonstrating a strong interest in our MR technologies. Each day provided the team with new opportunities to connect with a diverse group of radiology professionals intrigued by our advanced imaging solutions.
As the event progressed, we were continually encouraged by the feedback and insight our visitors provided after reviewing our most recent MR images. Several key experts noted our images’ spatial and contrast resolution, sharpness and clarity.
The response we experienced reflects a consensus amongst top musculoskeletal clinicians that the Magnetica prototype compact 3T extremity MRI system is on track to become a highly sought-after and game-changing device for the MSK industry globally.
The MSK Bone Dinner
This year, we again sponsored the esteemed MSK Bone Dinner. Facilitated by Veritas, and attended by distinguished members of the International Skeletal Society (ISS) and Society of Skeletal Radiology (SSR), the event provides a unique opportunity to engage in one-to-one conversations with our colleagues in the radiology community.
The informal and relaxed setting of the MSK Bone Dinner allowed us to engage deeply with key opinion leaders in musculoskeletal radiology, providing valuable feedback and insight into our system by those who will potentially work with it on a daily basis.
For some attendees, the MSK Bone Dinner was their first exposure to Magnetica. Encouraged by this, they visited our booth at RSNA 2024, where they could experience our technology and MR images first-hand. These interactions led to insightful discussions about the possible market applications for our system. Specialists in sports medicine proved to be particularly interested, an area where Magnetica technologies are poised to make a substantial impact, once our product becomes a cleared medical device.
Capping off a busy year for Magnetica
As our final event for 2024, RSNA marked the conclusion of another year of substantial progress for Magnetica. The exhibition was a key opportunity to showcase the high-resolution capabilities of our prototype MRI system. The ensuing feedback from top clinicians was encouraging, highlighting the diagnostic quality of our images and identifying areas for further development as we near the final stages of our development process.
With our participation at RSNA 2025, already confirmed, Magnetica is optimistic about the months ahead. We are committed to advancing musculoskeletal imaging and ensuring our solutions meet the evolving needs of MSK professionals globally.
