Accessible & Affordable MRI to Make the World Healthier: An Indian Initiative
Rajesh Harsh
Affordability of the MRI system, its complex design requirements such as power, technology, availability of experts at remote locations, socio-technical concerns have restricted the penetration of MRI technology in India. Solving these issues and bringing MRI to the underdeveloped & developing countries require indigenization of the system and innovations in its operation. Along with cutting edge research for bringing the cost down, innovative strategies such as better patient management system, optimum usage of MRI, hub and spoke operation model and use of renewable energy play an important role.
