Trouble appeared to be brewing in mid-October for IMiG-MRI, when callers were informed that its marketing operation was on hold. The company, a joint venture between Intermagnetics General of Waltham, NY, and Surrey Medical Imaging Systems of Guildford, England, appeared to be struggling in its effort to sell IMiG, a 0.15-tesla scanner designed to be the least expensive whole-body MRI system in the world.
