BrainSpec is collaborating with the University of Minnesota’s Center for Magnetic Resonance Research (CMRR) to commercialize its AutoVOI system.
Developed by the spectroscopy division at CMRR, AutoVOI automates the process of selecting brain regions for MR spectroscopy. This helps reduce variation between scans and users, BrainSpec said. The company added that this automation allows for broader use of MR spectroscopy in research settings.
Through this exclusive license agreement — managed by University of Minnesota Technology Commercialization — BrainSpec plans to simplify MR spectroscopy by reducing the technical complexity and bringing the technology to a wider audience, according to the firm.
