Prestigious ISO accreditation awarded to Glasgow health-tech company MR CoilTech

Glasgow-based engineering company MR CoilTech has been awarded globally-recognised ISO accreditation from the British Standards Institution (BSI) for the design, development and production of medical devices, in partnership with the University of Glasgow and InnoScot Health. MR CoilTech design, test and manufacture specialised radiofrequency (RF) coils, the devices responsible for generating and receiving the signal required to produce images of the body, for new generation, ultra-high field MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanners. The specialised, world-leading coils developed by MR CoilTech enable greater resolution brain scanning, supporting researchers to learn more about brain conditions such as stroke, vascular dementia, brain tumours, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Disease in greater detail than previously possible. MR CoilTech has a global reputation for delivering industry-leading advanced medical imaging technology, both across the UK and around the world. Now, this prestigious ISO accreditation (ISO 13485:2016), which formally recognises MR CoilTech's world-leading capabilities in developing and delivering high-quality RF coils, will help to accelerate the company's access to the global market, generating immediate company growth. MR CoilTech is an industry partner in the University of Glasgow-led Living Laboratory for Precision Medicine programme - an internationally leading programme supported by UKRI Strength in Places Funding.
