Interventional MRI demands more than new equipment. It requires a coordinated safety culture, procedural mastery, and operational alignment.
Copernicus is Cook Medical’s training and readiness service, designed to prepare institutions for safe, scalable iMRI implementation.
This is not a training course. It is an adoption framework.
The goal: readiness before first case.
We help hospitals move from pilot procedures to sustained clinical programs.
Copernicus aligns stakeholders around shared protocols, safety standards, and procedural objectives.
It transforms uncertainty into capability.
"This is a technology that can legitimately allow us to clear a liver of multiple metastases more accurately than CT or ultrasound."
Interventional magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) combines continuous MR imaging with minimally invasive procedures, offering excellent soft-tissue visualization and rapid, precise targeting of difficult lesions, all without exposing patients or clinicians to ionizing radiation. This approach enables clinicians to perform interventions with greater precision and safety.
iMRI enhances patient safety by providing real-time, high-contrast imaging without ionizing radiation. This means clinicians can precisely target lesions and adjust procedures as needed, reducing the risk of complications and unnecessary exposure. The system’s design also supports ergonomic access and streamlined workflows.
Cook Medical and Siemens Healthineers have collaborated to establish a turnkey solution for interventional MRI (iMRI). This partnership combines Siemens Healthineers’ advanced imaging technology with Cook’s clinical solutions, creating a new gold standard in patient care. This strategic collaboration creates a unique alliance between industry leaders in imaging and interventional devices—one that has not existed before.
The companies collaborate by integrating imaging innovation with procedural expertise to deliver a complete framework for iMRI implementation. This partnership enables the development of a turnkey ecosystem that includes site planning, imaging, interventional devices, and procedural support. Hospitals benefit from a comprehensive suite that streamlines workflow, supports MRI-guided interventions, and ensures every component, from equipment to training, works together for successful outcomes.
Hospitals gain several advantages from the iMRI partnership:
