Conductus a possible takeover candidate by Siemen's?

--
Conductus Inc , a pioneer in the commercialization of superconductive electronics reported continued progress toward their goal of perfecting a superconducting MRI receiver subsystem at last week's RSNA (Radiological Society of North America) exhibition in Chicago.

Working with researchers at Case Western Reserve University (affiliated with University Hospitals of Cleveland), Conductus engineers utilized prototype superconducting MRI coils to image phantom (i.e., non-human) subjects on a Siemens Open (0.2T) MRI system. This development work is part of the joint agreement announced earlier this year between Conductus and Siemens to develop superconducting receivers for the Siemens MRI system. In these tests, the superconducting coils provided a 100% increase in the signal- to-noise ratio of the system, a key factor in the sensitivity of the instrument. This sensitivity boost comes from the extremely high quality factor ("Q") of Conductus' superconducting coil, which at a value of 300,000 is more than 10 times the levels theoretically possible using conventional, copper-coil approaches. Enhanced sensitivity for the signals generated by low-field MRI machines leads to improved image quality, reduced scan time and potentially new applications for MRI imaging.
