Advances in the Low-Cost MRI Project for Accessible Imaging


General Information

We are thrilled to invite you to an exciting workshop where we will describe and discuss the current state of development of our low-cost MRI system. This system leverages existing open-source designs engineered to make medical imaging more accessible, especially in low-resource settings. Our team will showcase the design and manufacturing of various components: main field, gradient coils and amplifiers, RF coil and amplifier, shimming, and console.

This event will be held on December 16, 2024, in San Joaquin campus, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, and is organized by the LIBRE hub team with support from Chang Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI).
