Utrecht, August 25th, 2021 – In addition to the 2020 investment of EIT Health, MRIguidance has now raised $1.25 Million from the American venture capital firm Mammoth Scientific. This investment will allow MRIguidance to continue the company’s growth path. After market entry in Europe in the beginning of 2021, MRIguidance will use the new funds to prepare for market roll-out in the U.S.
