Specifications & Resources
MRI is a powerful tool for non-invasive medical diagnosis and other applications where non-destructive imaging is needed, however worldwide access to MRI systems is extremely limited.
ilumr is engineered to remove the roadblock to learning by giving future practitioners and technologists a hands-on experience on a cost-effective and portable imaging system.
Students will benefit from interactive learning as they deconstruct the complexities of MRI technology, from the basics of image acquisition, contrast methods, and artifacts to pulse sequence development.
