Abstract

The superior soft-tissue contrast and sensitivity for pathologies have
made magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a primary modality in medical imaging.
At present, the high initial and running costs, and demanding requirements for
siting and operating personnel limit its availability to large hospitals and imaging
clinics. Improved accessibility of MRI technology can lead into new healthcare
services. To study this, we set up the Accessible Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(AMRI) research platform, including a multidisciplinary research team and a very
low field MRI device for evaluation of new service solutions. We explored the
expected value of accessibility in point-of-care contexts, achieving validation and
improved focus for initial need-descriptions for the solution. Our design research
points towards the potential of a more accessible MRI in improving healthcare
provision, and that ever-prevalent medical imaging healthcare services could
cause systemic changes to the healthcare processes, technologies, and operating
environments.
