Low-field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) pertains to MRI systems that operate at magnetic field strengths typically below 1 Tesla. While high-field MRI systems, such as those operating at 1.5T or 3T, are predominantly used in clinical settings due to their superior image quality, low-field MRI offers several advantages that make it an appealing alternative in specific circumstances. Low-field systems are often more cost-effective, have lower operational and maintenance expenses, and pose fewer safety risks associated with strong magnetic fields. Recent technological progress, including advancements in image reconstruction algorithms and the development of specialized coils, has significantly improved the performance of low-field MRI, making it suitable for diagnostic imaging in resource-limited environments and specialized applications, such as pediatric and neonatal imaging. This abstract delves into the applications, advantages, and limitations of low-field MRI, with a focus on its role in broadening access to diagnostic imaging and its potential for future developments in radiology.
