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.
