rbb24 Inforadio – Mobiler MRT-Scanner für das Max-Planck-Institut

The new mobile MRI brings imaging procedures directly to the test subject and allows environmental influences on the brain to be examined directly on site.

A new mobile MRI scanner was recently inaugurated at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin. There are only a handful of these mobile research devices worldwide. The mobile MRI allows environmental influences on the brain to be studied directly on site, in nature, in rural areas, near architecturally interesting buildings, or in social contexts that have rarely been part of imaging research to date. What is also special about the mobile MRI is its configuration and purpose. While clinical mobile MRIs are primarily used for medical care, the MPIB scanner is designed as an expedition vehicle for field research under real environmental conditions.
