FDA clears ‘world’s first’ portable, low-cost MRI
From what I saw of this at RSNA, they were only demonstrating head scans. The scanning volume is big enough for a head but not a full body. The magnet is low-power enough that you could walk within a few feet of it during operation without danger.Cool device which could make MRI scans more accessible, and also paves the way for specialized scanners that only focus on a particular body part. I like medical tech that does a "good enough" job in exchange for being much cheaper than fully featured devices.
