Dutch orthopedic surgeons introduced to BoneMRI

Inventor of BoneMRI has presented his work at the Dutch Orthopedics Conference.

Amsterdam, January 30th 2020 – Founder of MRIguidance Peter Seevinck has presented BoneMRI of different anatomies to an audience of several hundred orthopedic surgeons at the conference of the Nederlandse Orthopedie Vereniging (NOV). When Peter presented BoneMRI first as a CT scan, but later revealed that it actually was an image derived from an MRI exam, the surprise in the audience was audible.

“Every time it works again” says Seevinck, clearly enjoying his little joke, “and not only with orthopedic surgeons, but also with radiologists. I can always surprise them with a CT image, that actually is not from a CT scan, but is from an MRI scan; it is BoneMRI.” BoneMRI has many potential orthopedic applications. Specifically, the combined visualisation of bone and the surrounding soft tissue from one exam, was a feature that was greatly valued. Additionally, orthopedic surgeons thought radiation free imaging of bone was a great benefit for their patients, especially for the pediatric patients.

Utrecht, February 2026 – MRIguidance has released a new update to BoneMRI, making the solution easier to use across the hospital workflow while expanding compatibility with scanners, systems, and IT environments.

A key feature of the release is new stitching functionality, which allows clinicians to generate combined anatomical regions of e.g. the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, into a single, continuous image, providing total spine views. This enables assessment of pathology across multiple spinal regions without switching between image series, which might improve clinical confidence by visualizing anatomical relationships in one comprehensive view, and reduce interpretation time by eliminating manual cross-referencing between sub-regions.

The update also introduces extended compatibility across imaging platforms and infrastructure. BoneMRI now supports pelvic region imaging across the full range of GE, Siemens, and Philips MRI scanners at both 1.5T and 3T. In addition, the software expands support for Enhanced DICOM processing and is now compatible with Windows Server 2025 OS via the MRIguidance Gateway.

These improvements enhance interoperability with MRI scanners and DICOM inputs, simplify coordination with hospital IT departments, and broaden anatomical and vendor coverage to support smoother clinical adoption.

The release also includes additional support and security enhancements.

The latest BoneMRI update benefits radiologists, MR technologists, IT teams, and surgeons, further strengthening BoneMRI’s role in efficient, radiation-free bone imaging across clinical workflows.
