Owing to its ability to detect and localise neural events with millimetre accuracy and millisecond resolution, TRIUX neo is used in the detection and evaluation of complex neurological disruptions.

MEGIN said that the detection capability is effective for the diagnosis of epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder, brain tumours, traumatic brain injury, and autism.

TRIUX neo is planned to be installed by the end of this year.

Arkansas Children’s Hospital neurology chief Gregory Sharp said: “MEG is a state-of-the-art device that can precisely localise the source of seizures within the brain to help provide a life-changing cure for select children with uncontrolled epilepsy. This asset will lead to new understandings of neurologic disorders through research.”
