EasyACT – a triggering/gating device

The EasyACT will greatly ease your workflow for triggering and gating of MRI and other biomedical imaging techniques, and can be employed at any field strength. It is based on non-invasive detection of acoustic signals induced by cardiac activity and surprises one with the ease of its use and reliability. The EasyACT‘s efficacy has been proven in several clinical studies to date. It is MR safe and in full compliance with regulations for medical devices as well as having been CE certified.
