Note: This talk will be preceded by a short AGM.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the most successful story of applied superconductivity. Innovation continues to drive MRI. Every scanner has at its heart a magnet; the UK played a prominent role. Oxfordshire is the Magnet Valley!
The MRI scanner is one of the most expensive pieces of clinical equipment. Not every hospital has an MRI scanner. Even in developed countries which have scanners, demand exceeds capacity and long waiting lists are prevalent.
This talk will cover key aspects of the MRI magnet, the MRI market and applications, and the future.
