A robotic platform uses the fringe field generated by the superconducting magnet of a clinical MRI scanner to guide medical instruments through deeper and more complex vascular structures. (Courtesy: ...

Because of the MRI scanner's size and weight, it's impossible to move it to change the direction of the magnetic field. To get around that issue, the patient is moved in the vicinity of the MRI ...

The static magnetic field of an MR system is always on. No sound, sight, or smell alerts personnel to the presence or the extent of the invisible field surrounding the magnet in all directions. The ...

MRI is a powerful diagnostic tool, but the size and cost of the machinery limits where it can be used. Scientists at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have now developed a more compact and affordable ...

Democratizing MRI: Prototype of a low-cost, low-power, shielding-free, ultralow-field brain MRI scanner. (Courtesy: CC BY 4.0/Nat. Commun. 10.1038/s41467-021-27317-1) A compact ultralow-field (ULF) ...

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Siemens have developed a high-performance, low magnetic-field MRI system that produces superior images of the body’s internal structures ...

MRI is a powerful medical tool that provides detailed images of everything from bones and joints to the brain and spinal cord, but millions of patients can't benefit from the improved care it provides ...

Innovation in the field of Diagnostic imaging technology has continued to advance over recent years, and with this brings more solutions and services accessible to Clinicians that allow for Radiology ...
