Open-source 3D-printed portable MRI machine built for under $70,000 — DIY medical equipment costs less than 7% of a full-sized MRI machine’s $1.1 million starting price

This open-source project uses 3D printing to build the core of a portable MRI machine, although it still has a lower resolution compared to multi-million-dollar full-sized machines.
