Researchers from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have successfully developed a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology, the ultralow field (ULF) 0.055 Tesla brain MRI, which can operate from a standard AC wall power outlet and requires neither radiofrequency nor magnetic shielding room.
The research team was led by Professor Ed X. Wu, Chair of Biomedical Engineering and Lam Woo Professorship in Biomedical Engineering of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, HKU. The research output was published in Nature Communications, and also highlighted in Nature Asia and Scientific American.
