Handheld MRI scanners
Now it is possibel for
real time video rather than static photos of Hi-res,
3D imaging of internal structures and brain activity.
This can be accomplished with devices not bigger than a camera.
These machines were so bulky in early 2000 that they filled entire rooms.
Expenisve -million dollars for state-of-the-art model, individual scan costing
hundreds of dollars.
Scan required longer upto half an hour to create.
Based on
Super sensitive atomic magnetometers new generation of machines started to evolve.
These new generation machine is substitute for
huge doughnut-shaped magnets that had been used in the past.
MRI scans will be
quick and easy as taking a photograph by late 2050's.
The
cost will be very low.
Developing countries healthcare programs would be
benefit particularly from this cheap and best MRI Scans.
