From Philips Medical Systems;
the Intera 3 T high field system, the first with a compact magnet, which is built on the same platform as the 1.5 T, is targeted to high-end neurological, orthopedic and cardiovascular imaging applications with maximum patient comfort and acceptance without compromising image quality and clinical performance. Useable for clinical routine and research. The Intera systems offer diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) fiber tracking that measures movement of water in the brain and can therefore detect areas of the brain where normal movement of water is disrupted.

Philips Medical System is the diagnostics business of Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands, one of the world's biggest electronics companies and Europe's largest. Philips is quoted on the NYSE (symbol: PHG), London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and other stock exchanges. On October 19, 2001, Philips Medical Systems completed a 3-year acquisition strategy through its purchase of Marconi Medical Systems. Marconi Medical Systems offered leading multislice CT, MRI, and Nuclear Gamma Camera systems to medical institutions around the world. As well as new 3.0T developments, Philips is also in collaboration with researchers at the University of Nottingham, with the intention of developing an ultrahigh field strength clinical 7.0T whole body MR system.
