Patent Awarded to David Waddington

Congratulations to David Waddington, who has been awarded a patent for “Systems and methods for susceptibility contrast imaging of nanoparticles at low magnetic fields”. In 2020, David published in Science Advances showing that iron-oxide nanoparticles could revolutionise the contrast possibilities for MRI, especially in low-field, portable setups.

Now, this patent, co-invented with collaborators Matthew Rosen from Massachusetts General Hospital and Zdenka Kuncic from University of Sydney, safeguards the game-changing technique David introduced in that paper.

Given the rapid expansion of the portable MRI market segment, we’re excited for the potential licensing opportunities for this patent. Watch this space!

Ten for ten at EPSM!

Typically at conferences abstracts are independently reviewed and scored. Those more highly ranked are given oral presentations. Image X are proud that for the upcoming EPSM conference in Christchurch, all 10 of our team’s submitted abstracts all received oral presentations. 10 oral presentations from 10 submitted abstracts is a great result! Pictured left, a whole-institute gelato celebration.
