NordicNeuroLab makes fMRI scans easy, reliable and reproducible
- Published 23 June 2025; updated 23 March 2026; estimated reading time 2 minutes. Listed as available in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Oceania; categories are Digital health and Medtech under Health and life science.
- NordicNeuroLab’s fMRI Essentials Package is a complete system intended to simplify complex clinical functional MRI workflows and standardize the technique. fMRI shows activity in specific brain regions and is used in planning neurosurgery to lower the risk of damaging healthy areas.
- The article describes the challenge as engaging patients in neuropsychological tasks during scanning, monitoring engagement, and accurately synchronizing task timing with MR image acquisition. Conventional visual and audio equipment may not function in the MRI magnetic field, making reliable, reproducible results difficult without MRI-compatible products.
- NordicNeuroLab says it has over 20 years’ experience building electronics for MRI environments. The package is designed for a hospital’s daily workflow and presurgical mapping. Components: InroomViewingDevice MR-compatible LCD monitor; nordicAktiva stimulus presentation and workflow software; SyncBox to synchronize stimulus presentation and image acquisition; ResponseGrip MRI-compatible patient response device; and a stimulus presentation PC.
- The stated patient-care benefit is providing neurosurgeons with individual-level brain-function information for people undergoing brain surgery.
- Market figures in the article: functional brain imaging systems forecast to grow at 6.8% annually from 2024 to 2030, reaching nearly USD 7.9 billion in 2030. It says fMRI is becoming standard care for planning neurosurgery for brain-tumour and epilepsy patients in the US, and identifies hospitals worldwide with neurosurgery and neuroradiology departments as the addressable market.
- Other products listed: Visual System HD for 3D visual stimuli during fMRI research; nordicComfortSolution for patient relaxation during MRI; and nordicAudio for clear technician-patient communication and audio entertainment or fMRI content.
- Testimonials shown in a two-slide carousel: Dr Natalie Voets, Specialist Advisor, Neuroimaging, GenesisCare, says ease of use and support/installation being handled were reasons for choosing NordicNeuroLab at its new neuro centre. Jakub Wojciechowski, Researcher at the Institute of Physiology and Pathology Hearing, says VisualSystem HD supports real-time eye monitoring, gaze/pupil tracking, assessment of wakefulness and task engagement, and combines this with high-resolution immersive displays for fMRI research.
- Linked to SDG 3, Good health and well-being, because the company says its fMRI solution improves care for people undergoing brain surgery.
