Low-field Portable MRI, AI, and How They Would Change the Future Healthcare

Abstract:

You may wonder how soon an MRI scan can be done at your convenience rather than bearing with long waiting time now. Portable and dedicated MRI search and development has been an active research area, and recently being actively commercialized. This talk will detail the recent progress on the development of low-field portable MRI, both research and commercialization, and the role of AI in this domain. The impacts of portable MRI to future healthcare will be discussed.
