A few weeks later, the beginnings of an open source CT scanner began to take shape. This isn’t an MRI machine that [Peter] so fondly remembered from grad school.

It means patients could receive fewer surgeries and more individually-tailored treatments. The post World’s first ultra-low magnetic scanner may transform cancer treatment appeared first on Talker.

This low cost magnetic resonance imager isn’t [Peter]’s first attempt at medical imaging, and it isn’t his first project for the Hackaday Prize, either. He’s already built a CT scanner ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a low-cost, portable optical coherence tomography scanner that promises to bring the vision-saving technology to underserved regions ...

The world’s first and only ultra-low magnetic scanner could change the way breast cancer is diagnosed and treated, experts say. Developed by scientists at the University of Aberdeen it means ...

A method called ultra-low field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has captured its first, blurry shots of a human brain, revealing activity as well as structure.

But not impossible, thanks to low cost, freely available hardware, and to the existence of 3D printers. Matthew Epler has built what he describes as an Open Source film scanner.

Patients presenting with low-risk pulmonary embolism are managed in different ways based on CT scan findings and not clinical risk factors, according to study results published in JAMA Network Open.
