Addressing Ecosystem Needs for Advancing MRI Access in Low and Middle-Income Settings

Low and ultra-low field MRI has the potential to reshape health equity - enabling medical imaging in settings that traditionally lack access. However, an inexpensive MRI system will, by itself, not improve access without concurrent innovation in personnel training (inc. maintenance technicians, radiographers, and radiologists), data connectivity, electricity access, and tailoring for health conditions that are more prevalent in low and middle-income countries.
