The Institute of Precision Measurement Science and Technology Innovation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently announced that the magnetic resonance imaging system they developed has been approved for marketing by the National Medical Products Administration. This is the world's first clinical multi-nuclear magnetic resonance imaging system that can be used for gas imaging. This invention can solve the common problem of ionizing radiation in lung imaging examination equipment and help to accurately detect lung diseases without invasion and radiation.
Among current lung imaging equipment, X-ray machines, CT and PET equipment generally use ionizing radiation, which may cause certain damage to the patient's body. Although magnetic resonance detection equipment does not contain ionizing radiation, it cannot image the lung cavities. Fortunately, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have pioneered a solution to this problem.
In the past few years, the Institute of Precision Measurement Science and Technology Innovation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed medical xenon gas generators to achieve hyperpolarization technology for gas magnetic resonance signal enhancement, ultra-fast lung gas magnetic resonance imaging technology, and multiple human body systems. Breakthroughs in MRI technology and more. These technologies always provide a reliable solution for lung detection, allowing us to see clearly the structure and function of the lungs and determine the type and level of the disease through non-invasive detection methods.
The human lung gas multi-nuclear magnetic resonance imaging system developed by the ultra-sensitive magnetic resonance team of the Institute of Precision Measurement is one of the most advanced equipment on the market. It consists of two core devices: "Medical Xenon Gas Generator" (Model: verImagin VIP510) and "Human Multi-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging System" (Model: uMR 780 (Xe)). This system can effectively solve the problem of extremely weak magnetic resonance imaging signals due to low gas density, and realize the expansion from clinical single-core to multi-core magnetic resonance imaging. Now, we can facilitate simple non-invasive, radiation-free testing of the lungs and perform quantitative visual assessments.
The advent of this system marks new progress in the non-invasive detection and treatment of lung diseases. This instrument and new testing technology could provide new insights into accurately assessing disease severity and determining treatment options. In addition, the system can be widely used in the diagnosis of some rare diseases, thereby helping doctors provide better treatment options for patients.
According to official disclosures from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the system has carried out clinical application research in more than 10 tertiary hospitals and scientific research institutions in Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan and other places, and has achieved some gratifying results. Looking forward to the future, the widespread application of magnetic resonance imaging systems will promote the further improvement of my country's medical level and become an important contributor to the technological progress of the global medical device industry.
