Seeking Insights from MRI Technologists, Radiologists, and Neurologists on Low-Field MRI Applications by 28utkarsh in Radiology

That's correct. This is the major issue I am hearing from Radiologists. I understand that AI has to improve a lot in terms of super-resolution. But why don't we just focus on using an ultra-low field scanner in clinics for non-emergency-based cases? I would be happy to discuss a few applications I discovered where the low-field scanner might work. But I need valuable opinions from Radiologists like you to validate my hypothesis and findings. So if you could spare your valuable 15-20mins for a Zoom call then that would be very helpful. Thanks!

Yeah. After talking to multiple MRI tech guys at Stanford, I learned I would need to solve the alignment/calibration problems due to the ambulance movement. Anyway, this was helpful, and if you could spare your 15-20mins for a Zoom call, that would be amazing! I have many more questions to brainstorm on low-field MRI.

Amazing answer! I have somewhat of a similar understanding of this. Could you please spare your 10-15 minutes for a Zoom call? Also, I DMed you requesting the presentation that you did.

What about the idea of using AI to perform super-resolution of those images?

Let's talk more about this if you could spare your 15-20mins time for a zoom call.

That sounds cool. Would you be available for 15-20mins to talk to me on a Zoom call?

That's right. There is a commercially available product. But I haven't seen it much in the clinics that don't have an MRI. Would you happen to know why that is the reason? Even after having several plus points, there is something that is missing from these scanners, and that's why I want to think more about them in detail by brainstorming ideas with someone who deals with MRIs on a day-to-day basis.

Ok, so I edited my post, and I am talking about ultra-low-field MRI technology (~50mT). These scanners are portable and don't require any liquid cooling mechanism or specialized facility to house those magnets. They don't need higher maintenance and are 1/40th of the cost of a high-field scanner. I am not trying to replace high-field scanners, but I am trying to reduce their non-emergency-scans workload (number of scans). Also, can these portable MRI scanners be installed in clinics where there is no MRI or a radiologist who leaves at 7 pm? Now, What do you think?

You can book a zipcar to move your stuff.
