Electrophysiologist, Dr. Marisevi Chaldoupi, MD PhD, commented: “Today in our ablation we realized that we were limited in the past, and now we can see what we are doing. While we have just started in iCMR, it is obvious to see the future of this technology and where it will take us and patient treatment.”
Imricor’s Chair and CEO, Steve Wedan, commented: “This is great news and an exciting step forward, as we start to put COVID behind us. We continue to actively plan for the easing of COVID restrictions, including scheduling training and installation at new sites and supporting the recommencement of procedures at existing sites. We also expect to begin signing new labs again soon, growing our installed base.
“Notably, MUMC+ is one of the sites where cardiology and radiology are partnering to utilize an existing MRI suite as an iCMR lab as a way to start performing ablations using Imricor’s products immediately, while future plans are being made for constructing dedicated iCMR lab facilities. They are a model for other sites who want to get started in a similar way.”
Dr Miranda Bijvoet, MD (imaging Cardiologist) and Dr Casper Mihl, MD (Radiologist) together stated: “Today proved that it is feasible to turn a diagnostic MR into an iCMR lab, and the technique has great potential as we were able to evaluate the ablation lesion and validate the treatment in the right position. This is a great collaboration between cardiology and radiology.”
Rob Holtackers, PhD (MR Physicist) added: “Combining the best imaging with the best of electrophysiology practice allows us to provide better patient care. The partnership is making this amazing project work.”

Seequent Launches AI-Powered Imago Image Analysis to Accelerate Geological Core Logging13.10.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Seequent, The Bentley Subsurface Company, has launched Imago image analysis, a new AI-powered capability built directly into its cloud-based solution Imago for extracting knowledge from geoscientific imagery. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261013282684/en/ Imago image analysis results showing core condition, fracture polylines, and AutoCrop boundaries on diamond-drilled core. Core condition delineates solid (blue), broken (orange), depth blocks (green), and gaps in recovered core. With the new Imago image analysis add-on, geologists can analyse drill core imagery in minutes, dramatically accelerating analysis that has traditionally taken days or weeks. It generates consistent, high-confidence quantitative geological data to support modelling and exploration decisions, helping teams from junior explorers to mining majors derive greater value from drilling programmes. Purpose-built machine-learning models autom
