  • India’s first portable Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system was deployed at the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi for ICU and critical care patients.
  • The portable MRI system allows bedside brain imaging for critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs), emergency wards, and neurosurgical care.
  • The device is an ultra-low-field MRI that can be moved directly to the patient, removing the need for shifting patients to MRI rooms.
  • It is being used at the Centre for Neurological Conditions at AIIMS Delhi.
  • The system is expected to improve the rapid diagnosis of stroke, trauma, and post-operative brain conditions.
