The Action allowed several SMEs to establish new markets, among them:
Mediri GmbH, which was tasked by Siemens Healthcare to develop part of their ASL package
Olea Medical, an SME specialised in medical image analysis, developed a new SW package to analyse ASL data. In the mean time, it was also bought over by Toshiba Medical
Nordic Neurolab, a company based in Bergen with active members of the Action, profited from the establishment of the network to increase their customer based, and refine their Nordic ICE research software
Both Philips Healthcare and Siemens Healthcare, based in Eindhoven and Erlangen respectively, benefited from the publication of the consensus paper, and further developed their product accordingly
Gold Standard Phantoms Limited: Last but not least, the chair of the Action, Prof X Golay, set up a spinout company to provide a calibration service for hospitals to be able to use ASL in a reliable and reproducible way. The company was successful in receiving £1.1M to develop a whole product for calibration of ASL from scratch.
