$Founders' Week Caf\u00e9 Sci : Aberdeen and the MRI - developments at very low magnetic fields$

Join us at Aberdeen Art Gallery on Tuesday 10 February, 7pm, for this Founders' Week edition of Café Sci
MRI is one of the most powerful tools in modern medicine, revealing what’s happening inside the body without surgery or radiation. But today’s MRI scanners rely on extremely strong magnets — making them expensive, hard to access, and challenging to engineer.
At the AMT Centre at the University of Aberdeen, researchers are re-imagining MRI using much weaker magnets to create more flexible and more widely available imaging systems.
Join Dr Lionel Broche and Dr Mathieu Sarracanie as they showcase the cutting-edge breakthroughs happening in Aberdeen in Field Cycling Imaging and Low-Field MRI— and discover how the future of MRI could look very different.
