Big science needs big protection – and we’re proud to be delivering just that.
IMEDCO is thrilled to be part of the groundbreaking 11.7T MRI project led by the University of Nottingham, a first-of-its-kind facility in the UK that will push the boundaries of medical imaging and neuroscience. As specialists in MRI shielding solutions, we’ve been selected to deliver and install a massive 567-ton passive iron shield and a custom RF enclosure – a core part of the infrastructure that makes ultra-high field MRI possible.
This isn’t just any shield. The size, precision, and performance requirements for a scanner of this strength are on an entirely different scale. That’s where we come in.
At IMEDCO, we’ve been designing and building MRI shielding systems for over 38 years, supporting more than 10’000 installations worldwide. Our team brings deep expertise in magnetic and RF shielding, engineering services, and on-site integration – delivering fully customized solutions that meet the strictest technical and safety standards.
We’re working alongside incredible partners on this project, including the University of Nottingham, who are spearheading the initiative, as well as Tesla Engineering, Philips Healthcare, and the University of Glasgow, who are each contributing cutting-edge technology to make this ambitious vision a reality. You can learn more about the project at mriuhf.ac.uk.
The new facility is set to begin construction in 2025, and by 2026, it will house one of the most powerful human MRI scanners in the world.
We’re honored to help pave the way for the next generation of medical imaging and can’t wait to see the breakthroughs this technology will enable.
