Missing piece identified for lower cost high quality MRI scans study – News – The University of Sydney
Researchers from the University of Sydney in Australia and Massachusetts General Hospital in the United States have developed a new technique involving nanoparticles to improve the image quality of medical scans by portable low-cost Magnetic Resonance Imaging…
Buying and installing an MRI scanner typically costs more than $2 million (AUD). This is why the machines are primarily found in imaging clinics and are unaffordable for medical centres in remote areas with small patient populations, said Dr Waddington.
Lowering the cost of MRI scanners could greatly expand the role of this powerful imaging technology in medicine by increasing the availability of scanning in emergency rooms, intensive-care units, and doctors offices.
