• ITMO Researchers Develop Wireless Signal Transfer Method for MRI

  Scientists from ITMO University are the first to prove the possibility of wireless signal transmission in magnetic resonance imaging. Moreover, the resulting images are of even better quality than those produced using the common method of signal transmission over radio-frequency cables. This technology has already passed the first clinical trials on volunteers at the Almazov National Medical Research Center in St. Petersburg. It also received an award by the American Physical Society. The results of the research were published in Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, one of the most reputable scientific journals in the field of medical MRI.
