The Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) has equipped itself with a new-generation magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, assisted by artificial intelligence. It will be tested by a dozen research teams.
This state-of-the-art equipment was acquired jointly by the CHUV, the University of Lausanne and the Biomedical Imaging Center. It weighs just 3 tonnes, half the weight of a standard system, and is around 2 metres high. The magnetic field is also lower.
For the time being, this "low-field" MRI unit is dedicated exclusively to research, a first in Switzerland. The aim is to evaluate the potential of this new technique, the CHUV said in a press release on Wednesday. ...
