A4IM:Affordable low-field MRI reference system

低场磁共振成像(MRI)正在经历一场复兴：与高场成像系统相比，这些系统更便宜、更安全、更能适应不同的环境，而且更容易使用。紧凑型和移动式扫描仪正在改变放射学的工作流程，即磁共振成像适用于患者，而不是患者适用于核磁共振成像。这些创新主要是由人工智能与为临床应用定制的低成本硬件相结合推动的。该项目将为临床开源低场磁共振的协调发展建立必要的计量框架，以促进更多地获得这项技术，并确保欧盟和世界各地的患者获得可靠和可重复的诊断信息。

Low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is experiencing a renaissance: these systems are cheaper, safer, more adaptable to different environments, and easier to use than their high-field counterparts. Compact and mobile scanners are changing workflows in radiology, where MRI comes to the patient rather than the patient to the MRI. These innovations are driven primarily by AI combined with low-cost hardware customised to clinical applications. This project will establish the necessary metrological framework for the harmonised development of clinical open-source low-field MRI to facilitate greater access to this technology and ensure reliable and reproducible diagnostic information for patients in the EU and worldwide.
