I want to thank the Skope team for the fantastic collaboration throughout our project. I truly appreciated the ‘Swiss precision’ in defining the project and reliably delivering on promises made. Additionally, having the team show up on-site really gave the project an extra push, helping us meet critical milestones.

Being able to directly visualize the gradient moments made it easy to identify the error and fix the calculation in the pulse sequence.

Oscillating gradient spin-echo (OGSE) diffusion acquisitions offer unique microstructural insight but suffer limited sensitivity due to the characteristically long TEs. This shortcoming can be mitigated by combining OGSE with spiral readouts…

Having access to the raw trajectory data from the Skope system and libraries with which to read them allowed us to successfully develop our model-based reconstruction algorithm and generate high-fidelity images.

Fast, non-Cartesian imaging is simpler than ever since we rely on the Dynamic Field Camera for system characterization and trajectory measurement. Real-time field monitoring with a Clip-on Camera has become a cornerstone of our 7T program.

At the UMC Utrecht we have built up quite some experience with the 16-channel Skope system for monitoring B0 field fluctuations in the human body at high field. We strive to stabilize sensitive MRI and MRS/MRSI acquisitions by correcting the acquisition and reconstruction techniques for B0 instabilities caused by (involuntary) patient movement.

The Skope staff have always been really helpful in sorting out any issues that I faced as my project developed over the past 5 years. The field camera is a very friendly solution that gives room to personalize data acquisition thanks to the MatLab-package scanner interface.

Our Clip-on Camera has been invaluable to monitor field stability and fluctuations in MR thermometry. If thermal measurements are to remain non-invasive in vivo, it is impossible to obtain definite proof without in situ measurements.
