Abstract:

As a non-invasive, high-resolution medical imaging technology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool for clinical disease diagnosis. At present, MRI is constantly developing towards higher magnetic field strength. High-field (HF) and ultra-high-field (UHF) MRI have shown obvious advantages in the fields of clinical diagnosis and emerging cutting-edge imaging technologies, and have become the direction of breakthroughs that countries around the world are competing for. HF and UHF MRI equipment is an important guarantee for scientific research and clinical applications, and is emphasized and supported as a strategic industry in many countries. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the domestic and foreign competition situation of HF and UHF MRI market and core technologies. It highlights the opportunities and challenges for the development of MRI in China and proposes targeted recommendations to address them.

Key words: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultra-high-field, AI, magnets
