The world's first portable MRI bedside scanner has been approved!

Fan Dongdong Recently, the U.S FDA approved the world's first portable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system Different from the common MRI scanners, this MRI system has a high mobility, which can directly move to the patient's bed with the roller to scan his head and brain Developed by hyperfine research, this highly mobile real-time imaging system weighs only one tenth of the weight of a conventional fixed MRI system The device is about 0.9 meters wide and 1.5 meters high The portable volume can make the device easy to access the elevator, and can directly use the socket of the daily power supply, so that clinical comparative images and 3D rendering imaging can be carried out beside the patient's bed The traditional MRI equipment is too large to move The purpose of hyperfine system is to solve the limitation of current MRI system, so that MRI can be used in any time, any place, any patient "It's time for MRI equipment to have mobility and flexibility in clinical applications like X-ray and ultrasound," Khan Siddiqui, chief medical officer of hyperfine, said in a statement Compared with today's fixed conventional MRI system, the cost of hyperfine system is reduced by 20 times, the power consumption is reduced by 35 times, and the weight is reduced by 10 times Siddiqui added: "on top of that, nearly 90% of the world's people simply can't use MRI According to the FDA's decision, we are now ready to rewrite the MRI accessibility rules " The new open MRI design system is controlled by a wireless tablet computer The new product will not require trained imaging technicians, electronic equipment or separate hospital facilities to shield imaging radiation Hyperfine instant medical devices represent innovations in MRI design, architecture, and workflow, with more than 100 patents issued and pending.
